Wonderful, that's very good news, that will make it much easier to proceed with the rest of the tasks. Now: - play a bit with "port search python", "port info python27", ... - try to install some super simple packages[***] - try to run "port -v livecheck category:math" to see if you can get livecheck running correctly (you'll need that info) - try to install "sudo port install mpstats", then "port contents mpstats"; if successful, you should see a new entry at http://stats.macports.neverpanic.de/os_statistics#os_platform I forgot the exact command, but there's a way to show what will be submitted, I guess you can find that out by inspecting the source or by running help or something (I'm not behind my mac at the moment) Just try to get familiar with the "port" command and then proceed to whatever other point you want, like - trying to get buildbot master and slave installed (I guess you can install them from the native package manager; alternatively via virtualenv which gives you slightly more flexibility in picking up the exact version that you want); the next step would be to try to replicate our setup, see https://github.com/macports/macports-infrastructure/tree/master/buildbot - converting the application (without personal details) into documentation/plan in a git(hub) repository (something like a markdown document) - (lower priority) proceeding with the simple html page that you started working on as a coding challenge, as part of improving & finalizing the plan for the summer - any other item from suggestions sent earlier Mojca [***] It's hard to tell what "simple packages" are, but if "platforms" contains "linux", there's at least a somewhat bigger chance that it will compile correctly. I guess you can expect a number of failures because the number of macports users on linux is super limited. Also, the build time might be somewhat high since everything needs to be compiled from source. A package like "mpstats" should be simple enough though, I assume you can find some others. Avoid anything that depends on Qt.
