Also if DarwinPorts is now MacPorts then why are both http:// darwinports.opendarwin.org/ and http://www.macports.org/ both operational? Shouldn't the darwinports site be removed if it is just old stuff? Or at least it should have a not pointing you to the newer macports site?
It says this on DP:
"As part of the transition to Mac OS Forge, the DarwinPorts project will adopt the new name MacPorts, utilizing the macports.org domain, which it recently acquired. "We believe the new name MacPorts better reflects our mission, which is to provide a collection of open source ports for Mac OS X, with future supportfor binary packages", says Juan Manuel Palacios, another DarwinPorts member.
Members of the DarwinPorts/MacPorts project and portmgr team will work with opendarwin.org and Mac OS Forge to effect a smooth transition over the coming weeks."
If you have syncd your MacPorts/Darwinports recently you will see this in the beginning:
DEBUG: Rebuilding the MacPorts base system if needed. Synchronizing from rsync://rsync.darwinports.org/dpupdate/dports receiving file list ... done ./
and in the end you will see this:
Downloaded MacPorts base version 1.320 The MacPorts installation is not outdated and so was not updated DEBUG: Setting ownership to root selfupdate done!
