3) The guide never migrated from the opendarwin.org servers. We haven't had it on the web and there is an open ticket for the ability to write static documents in wordpress on macosforge.org that is still unaddressed after 9 months.[1] MacPorts controls the port distribution chain in a way that we don't control the macosforge.org site.
If it's just a matter of getting it up somewhere, I (and I'm sure others) have webspace where it could be hosted (at least temporarily).
A number of use could host the guide and if there was a portfile for it we could use the portfile to ensure that all hosted copies of the guide were quickly and trivially updated no less. -- Randall Wood rhwood@mac.com "The ball is round. The game lasts ninety minutes. The rest is theory..."

because that wouldn't be possible to do with how it is now? (in the subversion repository?) I put a copy up here: http://geeklair.net/macports_guide/ I can make it automatically update if there's interest. -- Daniel J.

I would love it if you could host the guide in the mean time and automate its regen off fresh svn sources, just like we're currently doing with the Index (and since you already host that ;-) Committing the regen script to svn would also be great (GuideRegen.sh), in the base/portmgr dir just the same. I'm still in talks with kvv about hosting the guide right on MacOSForge with a static link to it off the front page, but in the mean time having it readily available in final form is a good thing, I believe. If we can come up with something now we can later on figure out how to also automate update submissions to our web server, I'm sure. To make it complete you still need the css file, however, so I'll try looking that up for you if it's not already in svn. Thanks for all the help and human & machine time, Daniel, much appreciated! Regards,... -jmpp PS: I've been thinking about the guide port idea, but I must admit I'm not too bought on it... although I still haven't scrapped it entirely, I must also admit.

Can you try the trunk/doc/guide/resources/docbook.css file? I think that's the one that was governing the guide feel and look, but currently I don't have the necessary software installed to test it (I can't regen the html files) -jmpp

Done and done. GuideRegen.sh has been added to cron to run once a day to regen the guide. url is http://geeklair.net/macports_guide -- Daniel J.

Thanks a lot Daniel! I'll get back to you and the list when I have an ETA on moving this to our site. /me very happy to see documentation progress finally lifting off, woot! Regards,... -jmpp
