I can't be sure technically but I've upgraded OS X for every release since MacPorts came out (Back when it was called DarwinPorts. Jaguar?) and I've never had to reinstall it. So, anecdotally I think you're safe. If you care very deeply you should of course back it up just in case. -- In Christ, Timmy V. http://burningones.com/ http://five.sentenc.es/ - Spend less time on e-mail _______________________________________________ macports-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.macosforge.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/macports-users
