Description (last modified by mascguy (Christopher Nielsen))
While our MacPorts Guide is quite extensive, there are a few portfile keywords missing. And while many have previously been identified in tickets, some have not.
Keywords documented in the man pages, but missing from the guide:
installs_libs- issue:38440add_users- issue:39083macosx_deployment_target
Keywords documented in the guide, but missing from the man pages:
- issue:39083configure.sdkroot
Keywords missing from both:
- issue:56036use_dmg- issue:13807startupitem.user,startupitem.group
Keywords needing additional work/clarification, before being documented:
master_site_local,patch_site_local,archive_site_local- issue:62952, waiting on: issue:62143

Replying to jmroot:
There is documentation for installs_libs in the portfile man page.
Indeed there is, along with detail for add_users. That makes things easier, as we can reconcile from the man page, when possible.
Thanks for the heads-up Josh!

Since the only remaining keywords to be documented are master_site_local et. al. - and that's covered by issue:62952 - we can close this ticket.

There is documentation for installs_libs in the portfile man page.
