Hello!
I was writing a puppet class to install things from macports. In the process, I wrote a class for macports itself. I was unsure what to put in the source part, though.
I mean, I could hardwire it to the URL of the current installer as to date,, but that does nobody any favours.
I was wondering if you could please add download-friendly URLs for the installer, on the website. For example
https://distfiles.macports.org/MacPorts/MacPorts-current-Lion.pkg or
https://distfiles.macports.org/MacPorts/MacPorts-current-MountainLion.pkg or
https://distfiles.macports.org/MacPorts/MacPorts-current-Maverics.pkg
where current is the most up-to-date version of the MacPorts installer.
That would def add a sprinkle of automation more in my life.
Should higher intervention be needed, I am def willing to splurge for $beverage/$food -ofchoice to help the good people in Apple feel favourably towards this ticket.
Best Regads,
George Marselis
