No, thats not what I said, sorry if it confused you. Whenever you upgrade your OS to a new major version you should always reinstall your ports complete, as per the migration instructions. What I said was you do not need to reinstall your ports if you first install them with a from source macports base install, but then switch to an installer base install (or upgrade base) Chris > > Thanks a lot again, > > Artemio > >

Re: Questions on migration to macOS Ventura
Hi, Theres no reason to wait for an official installer, the build from source route works just fine, and once complete gives you functionally as good a macports installation as the installer does. If you go this route, there is also no need to reinstall once the official installer is out. Also, any ports you install, regardless of how you installed macports, and perfectly valid and do not need reinstalling if you subsequently change (or e.g. update at some later time) your macports installation.

Questions on migration to macOS Ventura
I just upgraded to macOS Ventura, and would like to migrate my MacPorts installation accordingly. However, when following the instructions at https://trac.macports.org/wiki/Migration I realized that the MacPorts installer for Ventura has not been released yet. My questions are the following: 1. Should I build MacPorts from source on my machine, or is it better to wait for the “official” installer? 2. Should I choose the latter option, would it be safe to keep using in the meantime the ports I have already installed (w/o trying to update ports or install new ones)?

I'm not certain how to respond to this, other than to say that our server configuration has been this way since late 2016 and we have not seen these permissions errors until the release of MacPorts 2.8.0 just now, and then only on Catalina and later, which makes me think they are not connected to the UID/GID.

No. The structure of MacPorts Portfiles is unique, not shared with any other package manager or ports system. MacPorts was inspired by FreeBSD but does not share any code with it. If you wish to attempt to create a Portfile, instructions are in the MacPorts Guide. If you just wish to register your desire for a new port to be created by someone, you can do that by filing a ticket in the issue tracker and someone might eventually get around to it.
