The MacPorts Project is pleased to announce the release of version 2.0.2. 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 in disk images available for 10.5, 10.6 and 10.7 (universal builds, the former i386/ppc and the latter two i386/x86_64) at [2].

Update hangs configuring g95
by martin cohen 03 Aug '11

03 Aug '11

This is what happens: ---> Computing dependencies for g95 ---> Fetching archive for g95 ---> Attempting to fetch g95-0.92_2+gcc42.darwin_10.x86_64.tgz from http://packages.macports.org/g95 ---> Fetching g95 ---> Attempting to fetch g95_source.tgz from http://ftp.g95.org/v0.92/ ---> Verifying checksum(s) for g95 ---> Extracting g95 ---> Applying patches to g95 ---> Configuring g95 And it hangs. How can I get past this?

MacPorts 2.0.0 has been released
by Joshua Root 21 Jul '11

21 Jul '11

The MacPorts Project is happy to announce that the 2.0.0 version has now been released. It is available via the usual methods: - selfupdate if you already have MacPorts installed - package installers in DMGs 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 2.0.0 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]. Of particular note is that everything is now in place on the client side to allow MacPorts to automatically download and install pre-built archives. Hopefully there will be more news on this front in the near future. Note that the installer will convert your port images to a new format, which can take quite some time. Your registry will also be converted to SQLite format if you have not switched already. A big thanks to the developers for their hard work with all of the various features and bug fixes in 2.0.0, and to all those who helped out by reporting bugs or testing.

New Canadian mirror server
by Ryan Schmidt 24 Dec '10

24 Dec '10

The MacPorts Project is pleased to announce the immediate availability of a new mirror server generously provided by the University of Waterloo Computer Science Club. Once you "sudo port selfupdate", MacPorts will automatically select this mirror for downloading distfiles if it is determined to be the closest server to you. If you'd like to get your portfile definitions and base updates from there as well, you can edit your MacPorts configuration to do that too. More information is available in the wiki: http://trac.macports.org/wiki/Mirrors -Ryan Schmidt, for the MacPorts Project

It is available via the usual methods: - selfupdate if you already have MacPorts installed - package installers in DMGs for 10.4 [1], 10.5 [2], and 10.6 [3] (all universal builds, the first two i386/ppc and the latter i386/x86_64) - source tarballs, both .tar.bz2 [4] and .tar.gz [5] - subversion tag [6] The list of what's new in 1.9.0 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]. One particular change that requires special attention is the new SQLite registry format, which will be the preferred format moving forward. It is the default for new installs, but existing installs will need their macports.conf edited in order to use it, by changing 'portdbformat flat' to 'portdbformat sqlite'. After making this change, your existing flat receipts will be converted the first time you run port(1) with sufficient privileges (this usually means using sudo; e.g. 'sudo port installed'). A big thanks to the developers for their hard work with all of the various features and bug fixes in 1.9.0, and to all those who helped out by reporting bugs or testing.
