Hello everyone! I just tagged 1.4.0-rc2 and posted corresponding test tarballs and checksums to our downloads directory. Those of you keeping track of svn commits should know about the changes that took place since rc1, those of you that don't please be patient, I'll update the ChangeLog as I get a chance through out the day. In any case, there have been changes to the release_1_4 branch so getting some testing on rc2 would be good! Just the same, if anything comes up please file a ticket in trac and assign it to the "MacPorts 1.4" milestone, base component (forwarding the ticket number to this list, thanks!).
I didn't try 1.4rc1... How do I try 1.4rc2? If I have a working copy of the release_1_4 branch, do I just configure, make, sudo make install? Does it just overwrite my existing 1.3.2 installation? Anything else I need to do to make it work? Anything to watch out for? The only way I've ever upgraded MacPorts in the past was to use sudo port selfupdate so I just want to make sure I don't hose something here.
