Problems installing svk-2.0.1
I was trying to install the "svk" port, but it was taking an extraordinarily long time for the "Configuring svk" step. When I turn on debug output, I can see that it's stuck in an endless loop, repeating this bit over and over: (1) Africa (2) Asia (3) Central America (4) Europe (5) North America (6) Oceania (7) South America Select your continent (or several nearby continents) [] Sorry! since you don't have any existing picks, you must make a geographic selection. Is there a workaround for this?

Ah, found the answer in this Trac ticket: http://trac.macports.org/projects/macports/ticket/9096 Solution was to first run: sudo perl -MCPAN -e shell and then answer "no" to the question about configuring it. Then quit the shell, and try the install of "svk" again.

That's actually not the best answer. The problem is that there are 2 perl modules that svk requires to be installed that overwrite files in the perl port. You need to install them with the -f, and they output messages to let you know that (although it's easy to miss in all of the text that scrolls by). These ports are: p5-file-temp-svkonly p5-pathtools -- Daniel J.
