Dear Mac Ports, I'm desperately trying to find a way to install FreeTDS... I followed the trail from Darwin Ports... All is good until I do: sudo port install freetds ... and then I fail to fetch the relevant source... (freetds-0.63.tar.gz...) I can locate this file at various sources... but don't know how to point DarwinPorts in the right direction. Could anyone suggest any way I can get FreeTDS onto Tiger Client?

You should either difficult way) try to update portfile and patches to the new 0.64 version following http://trac.macports.org/projects/macports/ticket/9800. or easy way) download freetds-0.63.tar.gz manually and put it where macports searches for distfiles : typically something like /opt/local/var/db/dports/distfiles/freetds/ and relaunch port install. -- Emmanuel

I updated teh master site in revision 1 of the portfile. Update to the latest will require patch changes. In a few hours it should work. Mark

I manually updated the portfile and patches and attached them to this bug last week, so all you should have to do is to download the attached tarball over the top of the rsynced one (look in the directory output by "port file freetds", this is the easy way) or set up your own local repository and put it first in sources.conf file (slightly harder). Ideally someone would apply the changes to the main source tree so people could do a "port sync", I'm not sure how to make that happen however. --Terry

I just committed 0.64. I didn't see the ticket because the summary line wasn't correct. I kept the additonal master_site from rev 1 so if they remove another tarball the port won't break but will look in ./old. Mark
