openssl upgrade fubar?
by Kevin Ballard 07 Jan '07

07 Jan '07

I just told MacPorts to upgrade Subversion. As part of doing this, it decided to upgrade openssl. However, there was no difference in version string! ---> Deactivating openssl 0.9.8d_0+darwin_8 ---> Uninstalling openssl 0.9.8d_0+darwin_8 ---> Installing openssl 0.9.8d_0+darwin_8 ---> Activating openssl 0.9.8d_0+darwin_8 Any idea why it decided to do this? -- Kevin Ballard http://kevin.sb.org eridius(a)macports.org http://www.tildesoft.com

I got to the downloads via the wiki page at <http:// trac.macosforge.org/projects/macports/wiki/InstallingMacPorts>. This says `Download the latest MacPorts .dmg disk image you find in the MacPorts download area', but what you find when you follow that link is a number of directories named `DarwinPorts', and a DarwinPorts .dmg. That's very confusing, whether or not you know MacPorts' history as DarwinPorts. It looks like you've been misdirected to a DarwinPorts legacy distribution (or something like that). So can I suggest (a) changing these build products so that they're called MacPorts, and (echoing Nathan) (b) having a 'Download' link directly on the macports.org front page.

cross compiling mac ports and intel vs. PPC architecture
by David Smoot 07 Jan '07

07 Jan '07

I too just received my shiny new Mac Book Pro today and am upgrading from a Powerbook G4 as well. I used Apple's "firewire upgrade method" where I connected my old laptop to my new one with a firewire cable and it automagically sucked everything over. It worked amazingly well. Everything works. I expected broken binaries and heartache but it all "just works" including all my ports. I assume my ports are running with that Rosetta translation module. Will they run faster if I do a clean re-compile? I wonder if there might be some way to add an option to similar to selfupdate that is a an"arch-migrate" target that recompiles all targets for the new architecture. David

SourceForge in mirror_sites.tcl
by Ross David Turk 05 Jan '07

05 Jan '07

Hey folks! I noticed that you guys are fetching SourceForge files from the mirrors directly, and did a little grepping. I'm not a macports/ darwinports expert (or even a heavy user), but I think that it's set in mirror_sites.tcl: set portfetch::mirror_sites::sites(sourceforge) { http://easynews.dl.sourceforge.net/ http://surfnet.dl.sourceforge.net/ http://belnet.dl.sourceforge.net/ http://heanet.dl.sourceforge.net/ http://ovh.dl.sourceforge.net/ http://internap.dl.sourceforge.net/ http://jaist.dl.sourceforge.net/ http://umn.dl.sourceforge.net/ http://kent.dl.sourceforge.net/ http://mesh.dl.sourceforge.net/ http://ufpr.dl.sourceforge.net/ http://nchc.dl.sourceforge.net/ http://switch.dl.sourceforge.net/ http://superb-west.dl.sourceforge.net/ } In the old days, until about a month ago, users accessing a file like http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/gaim/gaim-1.5.0.exe would be sent to a mirror selection page. Recently, we replaced that page with a more intelligent download redirector. I would love to see you change the snippet above to: set portfetch::mirror_sites::sites(sourceforge) { http://downloads.sourceforge.net/ } Doing this should provide these benefits: 1) You won't have to manage the mirror list as mirrors are added or removed. 2) You can ensure that the mirror you're sent to has the file you're looking for. Not all mirrors have all files. 3) Your users will probably get a faster download due to the geolocation. 4) SourceForge projects will get fair download statistics - going to the mirror directly bypasses our statistics hooks, so your downloads haven't been counting towards their SourceForge.net project activity rating. The risk is, of course, that if the SF.net website goes down, so will your ability to get these files. Perhaps you could list http:// downloads.sourceforge.net first and keep a few other ones in there as a backup in case we're down? Does port try to fetch from the mirrors using the listed order? Let me know if you have any questions.. :) Thanks! Ross -- Ross David Turk <rdt(a)sf.net> SourceForge.net Community Manager

shells/fish fails to install due to checksum mismatch.
by Mike Roberts 05 Jan '07

05 Jan '07

shells/fish/Portfile specifies a checksum of 522fba3b00939f9c36f2eac14ffc10a6 but i downloaded the package myself (from fishshell.org/files/1.21.11) and found that the checksum should be a4cf3dc089f819fe806644f7cb8dcf11. also, while trying to determine the md5sum of the package, i discovered that the md5sum command appears to be missing from the corefiles port. "info corefiles" suggests that it should be present but i cannot find it in /opt/local/bin. -- mike
