All is better now with destroot.violate_mtree under MacPorts 1.5.2, so I'm requesting that someone commit Trac #12756.

If you can't use selfupdate (which only works over rsync), you'll have to download the source and build it yourself, each time MacPorts base is updated. The 1.5.2 source is here: http://trac.macports.org/projects/macports/browser/distfiles/MacPorts Download it, decompress it, and run ./configure, make and sudo make install in the decompressed directory. _______________________________________________ macports-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.macosforge.org/mailman/listinfo/macports-dev
