Evening everyone! I'm pleased to announce that MacPorts 1.5.1 has been released through selfupdate, comprising the following fixes and enhancements: Release 1.5.1 (11-August-2007 at branches/release_1_5/base's r27646, by jmpp): - Remove sed rules taking care of dp based comments in the macports.conf file from the upgrade target in base/Makefile.in, they were causing problems for people with /opt/dports or similar prefixes (jmpp in r27618). - Facelift to the PortIndex2MySQL.tcl script to make it selfcontained and work with the new macports1.0 api to generate SQL statements with information extracted from Portfiles (jmpp in r27415). - Always print the livecheck regex in debug mode, not only when it fails (ryandesign in r27379). - Detect some mtree violations within ${prefix}. Test can be overriden by "destroot.violate_mtree yes" in a Portfile (mww in r27199). - Fix version comparison in MacPorts initialization to properly detect Tcl versions 8.4.7 and later (sfiera in r27127). - Fix double de-escaping of livecheck.regex inadvertently introduced in r26041 (eridius in r27079). - Added new Portfile options to the configure stage for selecting compiler(s) (mww in r27018, r27021, r27022 and r27053) - New logic in the upgrade target to account for cases where the old and new versions consist of different numbers of segments (sfiera in r26921). - Remove dead OpenDarwin mirrors from our mirrors list (jmpp in r26903) - New tests for violations of common directory structure (and option to override them for special cases) - Added new variable ${os.major} that contains the Darwin major version (eridius r26693, ticket #12224). Selfupdate at will (in a couple of minutes to allow for the updates to reach the rsync sever ;-) and report any problems you might encounter to our lists and/or as tickets on trac.macports.org. Thanks again to all those working hard to improve MacPorts with every single one of our releases, most appreciated! To everyone else, enjoy 1.5.1! Regards,... -jmpp
