1.9.1 is the current version, yes, though we really should release 1.9.2 at some point. It already contains some important fixes. > I think the 1.9 release moved to using a sqlite database.

As Harald already responded, to get the sqlite registry, you need to change "portdbformat" in macports.conf to "sqlite". MacPorts installations begun before 1.9 would have this set to "flat" and MacPorts does not upgrade your macports.conf automatically so you need to do it manually. There may be other new settings in macports.conf; you should spend some time comparing your macports.conf.default with your macports.conf and bringing over any changes you don't specifically want to diverge from. > Curious, I see rsync is used to sync the ports on selfupdate.

Several, in fact, so you can choose one geographically close to you: http://trac.macports.org/wiki/Mirrors#MacPortsSource _______________________________________________ macports-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.macosforge.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/macports-users
