+==== Implement fakeroot functionality ==== #fakeroot

+Currently, MacPorts uses root privileges in the destroot phase. That should be replaced by a system that runs as the macports user but intercepts all operations that would require root privileges (chown/chmod/etc.) and record the resulting permissions in a database.
+
+The existing functionality of trace mode in darwintracelib1.0 could be leveraged for this task.

-==== Bump version and checksum of existing port ==== #bump

-Homebrew has brew bump-formula-pr. Such functionality saves a lot of work when updating many ports. Bumping ports using PortGroup like GitHub and bitbucket should also be supported. Existing revision should be reset or removed interactively. A suggested commit message for the update should be shown.

-Use cases (pseudo commands):
-* `port bump [[portname | pseudo-portname | port-expressions | port-url]]` bumps checksums only
-* `port bump [[portname | pseudo-portname | port-expressions | port-url]] @<version>` bumps version and checksums
-* `port bump --livecheck [[portname | pseudo-portname | port-expressions | port-url]] bumps both with livecheck result if ${version} == ${livecheck.version}`
