Issues self updating Macports

I have encountered two issues when attempting to update Macports it self before being able to update my ports. sudo self update produces an error error renaming "/opt/local/var/macports/sources/rsync.macports.org/release/tarballs/tmp/base": no such file or directory error renaming "/opt/local

Re: Can I make the port of Inkscape the default app for SVG files?

It looks like that port only works on macOS 10.15, and I'm on 10.13.6 (and can't go higher). A pity, since I'm having trouble making sense of Platypus—although thank you to Richard L. Hamilton for suggesting it! It's certainly worth working with it a bit to see if I can pull it off. >From the des

Re: Can I make the port of Inkscape the default app for SVG files?

I suspect you'd have to create an app wrapper. Platypus is the easiest way I know to do that. Or use DrawBerry (not in MacPorts), which is a free SVG editor for macOS that's already an app. > On Mar 9, 2020, at 18:42, K Hindall wrote: > > I finally got Inkscape 0.92.4 running. > > But if I d

Can I make the port of Inkscape the default app for SVG files?

I finally got Inkscape 0.92.4 running. But if I double-click on any of the files that I made in 0.92.2, they open in my web browser, not Inkscape. I've tried the usual path to correct this on a Mac running macOS 10.13.6, which is to go into the "Info" screen for the document and select the applic

Using macports 2.6.2 on a powerbook G4 1.33GHz and Leopard 10.5.8 ppc

Hello, I'm using since last week macports on a powerbook G4 1.33 12" aluminium. I wanted to use gsmartcontrol, encfs and extfat for an external wd book hdd. But I was until yet only capable to build slocate. For gsmartcontrol I ran into issues with python38, and a very slow build process. germ
