I notice this when port was fetching pearl 5.5.9 and i already got it!!!...

I get that... but c'mon. It's been more than an hour and still doesn't have finished installing gnuplot...My partner beside me it's laughing because in ubuntu it took less than 10 min. Is there any way I can help to improve MacPort??? -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.macports.org/ticket/22750#comment:2> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS

Yes, lots. Taking maintainership of unmaintained ports, wrangling tickets, writing documentation, working on the base code... But a ticket is not the right place to discuss this, use the macports-dev list. -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.macports.org/ticket/22750#comment:3> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
