by Joshua Root 21 May '12

21 May '12

The MacPorts Project is pleased to announce the release of version 2.1.1. This is a bugfix release with small changes only. See the ChangeLog [1] for the list of changes. If you already have MacPorts installed, the preferred method for updating is to run: sudo port selfupdate For new installs, there are also package installers available for 10.5, 10.6 and 10.7 (universal builds, the former i386/ppc and the latter two i386/x86_64) at [2]. The source is also available as tarballs compressed with gzip or bzip2, or from the subversion tag [3]. Detached PGP signatures for the disk images and source tarballs have been made with my key, which is available on the keyservers and my MacPorts wiki page [4], the fingerprint being: 0x63BAD8CF2A10D5EE: 5F83 E16B D885 0601 5084 63C2 63BA D8CF 2A10 D5EE Josh (on behalf of the MacPorts Port Managers) [1] <http://svn.macports.org/repository/macports/branches/release_2_1/base/Chang…> [2] <https://www.macports.org/install.php> [3] <https://svn.macports.org/repository/macports/tags/release_2_1_1/> [4] <https://trac.macports.org/wiki/jmr>

by Joshua Root 15 May '12

15 May '12

The MacPorts Project is happy to announce that the 2.1.0 version has now been released. It is available via the usual methods: - selfupdate if you already have MacPorts installed - package installers for 10.5 [1], 10.6 [2], and 10.7 [3] (all universal builds, the first i386/ppc and the latter two i386/x86_64) - source tarballs, both .tar.bz2 [4] and .tar.gz [5] - subversion tag [6] The list of what's new in 2.1.0 is quite extensive (so I won't list it here), the details can be found in the NEWS [7] file or the somewhat more exhaustive ChangeLog [8]. A big thanks to the developers for their hard work with all of the various features and bug fixes in 2.1.0, and to all those who helped out by reporting bugs or testing. Detached PGP signatures for the pkg/dmgs and source tarballs have been made with my key, which is available on the keyservers and my MacPorts wiki page [9]. - Josh [1] <https://distfiles.macports.org/MacPorts/MacPorts-2.1.0-10.5-Leopard.dmg> [2] <https://distfiles.macports.org/MacPorts/MacPorts-2.1.0-10.6-SnowLeopard.pkg> [3] <https://distfiles.macports.org/MacPorts/MacPorts-2.1.0-10.7-Lion.pkg> [4] <https://distfiles.macports.org/MacPorts/MacPorts-2.1.0.tar.bz2> [5] <https://distfiles.macports.org/MacPorts/MacPorts-2.1.0.tar.gz> [6] <https://svn.macports.org/repository/macports/tags/release_2_1_0> [7] <http://svn.macports.org/repository/macports/branches/release_2_1/base/NEWS> [8] <http://svn.macports.org/repository/macports/branches/release_2_1/base/Chang…> [9] <https://trac.macports.org/wiki/jmr> PS, my PGP key ID is 63BAD8CF2A10D5EE, fingerprint 5F83 E16B D885 0601 5084 63C2 63BA D8CF 2A10 D5EE

Prebuilt archives available for Lion
by Joshua Root 11 May '12

11 May '12

The MacPorts project is pleased to announce that prebuilt archives for OS X 10.7 Lion are now available for many ports, and will be used automatically when installing. This is made possible by the capabilities added in MacPorts 2.0 and noted in the release announcement [1]. Many users will have noticed that archives started becoming available for Snow Leopard last year; these were produced by a pilot build server. A Lion build server was added recently, and as of yesterday, it finished attempting to build all available ports and placed the resulting archives on the download server. A prebuilt archive cannot always be used, for a number of reasons: * Our archives are built only for the default prefix (/opt/local), so if MacPorts is installed in a custom prefix, it will not download them. * We only build archives for the default variants of each port. * Many ports do not yet list license information. * Some ports have a license that does not allow for distribution of binaries, or have a license that conflicts with the license of a dependency in a way that prevents such distribution. Use of prebuilt archives can be disabled by using the -s option, as described in the port(1) man page. The upcoming 2.1.0 release includes a macports.conf setting that allows choosing this permanently. - Josh [1] <http://lists.macosforge.org/pipermail/macports-announce/2011-July/000014.ht…>
