#26302: Trouble upgrading Macports ----------------------------------------------+----------------------------- Reporter: charles.troell@… | Owner: macports-tickets@… Type: request | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 1.9.1 Keywords: | Port: ----------------------------------------------+----------------------------- Changes (by ryandesign@…): * priority: High => Normal Old description:

I am a digital forensic examiner for the Orlando Police Department.

The system was configured several years ago but I believe that Darwinports was installed. I am not sure which version.

I have recently upgrade a MacBook Pro from Tiger to Snow Leopard. I installed the new version of Xcode. I need to upgrade the system to process two iPhones in a case we are working.

I have tried several times to upgrade to the current version of MacPorts but receive this error message:

jXXXXX-computer:~ jXXXXX$ sudo port -v selfupdate Synchronizing from rsync://rsync.darwinports.org/dpupdate/dports @ERROR: Unknown module 'dpupdate' rsync error: error starting client-server protocol (code 5) at /SourceCache/rsync/rsync-40/rsync/main.c(1398) [receiver=2.6.9] Error: /opt/local/bin/port: selfupdate failed: Couldn't sync dports tree: sync failed doing rsync

I attempted to install the DMG package which instructed me to upgrade the MacPorts to 1.7.1

I attempted to do this but because I am now running Snow Leopard the older upgrades will not install do to the OS version not matching.

How can I upgrade my system.

Thank you in advance.

The [wiki:Migration Migration] page has more information. Since your existing installation is so old, you would first need to upgrade to [http://svn.macosforge.org/repository/macports/downloads/MacPorts-1.7.1/ MacPorts 1.7.1], then upgrade to the [http://www.macports.org/install.php current version of MacPorts]. However, MacPorts 1.7.1 never ran on Snow Leopard. Therefore, you probably need to completely [http://guide.macports.org/chunked/installing.macports.uninstalling.html uninstall your old MacPorts / DarwinPorts] and then install the [http://www.macports.org/install.php current version]. -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.macports.org/ticket/26302#comment:4> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS

I don't think it's worth the effort to make the upgrade path smoother for really old versions. -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.macports.org/ticket/26302#comment:6> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
