Actually, it was a question, and yes, after verification the answer is "no"
because of that 2nd observation.
I can see how it makes sense to resolve symlinks *under* $prefix. Outside,
maybe not, and for $prefix itself rather not I think. Except possibly in very
specific cases.
BTW, the function I just posted makes `port provides` work both ways: on the
path through $prefix, and on the fully normalised path. In my case:
{{{
%> port provides /opt/local/libexec/qt5/qml
/opt/local/libexec/qt5/qml is provided by: qt5-kde-devel
%> port provides /Volumes/Debian/MP9/libexec/qt5/qml
/opt/local/libexec/qt5/qml is provided by: qt5-kde-devel
}}}
I'd be tempted to print the original filename though (for successful lookups),
and maybe the 2 versions in case of failure (and if they're different).
R.
