It would be great if someone could compare InstallingMacPorts with those two other documents and see if anything is missing from the newer documents. If not, InstallingMacPorts can be deleted and replaced with a pointer to those other documents. This may also fall under the scope of #15392. -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.macports.org/ticket/17359#comment:1> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
