Why is my port instalation saying:

port version
Version: 1.500

Am I living on some bleeding edge developement version without knowing it?

My settings in port.conf are:

rsync_server            rsync.macports.org
rsync_dir                       dpupdate/base/

Yes, apparently... how did you install?

Well - I made the instalation over 1 year ago, something like version 1.3

Since then I just selfupdate and upgrade those 5 ports I use (tex, emacs, gcc,...)

Last time I changed anything was the change to the macports.org servers.
I remeber there were some problems but after few tests it
worked and since then just by selfupdating it went to 1.5 by itself...

Weird. I was unaware that there was ever a time when a port selfupdate downloaded version 1.5. My understanding was that that should not have been the case. I myself haven't used selfupdate in quite a while (I'm updating manually) so I can't say for sure what's up. Anyone who works in base want to comment on whether or how this would be possible?

Is there some setting somwhere to choose between release and developer version?

Presumably that would be the rsync_dir parameter you mentioned above. I believe the defaults are [1]:


# Rsync server to use
rsync_server            rsync.darwinports.org

# Rsync directory from which to pull the base/ component (infrastructure) of DP
rsync_dir                       dpupdate1/base/


rsync.macports.org and rsync.darwinports.org both point to the same IP, so that shouldn't be relevant. But I don't know what the difference is between dpupdate and dpupdate1.
