MacPorts 2.11.0 beta 1

on GitHub

Changes since 2.10.7:

• MacPorts now requires Mac OS X 10.5 or later.

• port reclaim now has an option to keep unrequested ports that
  are build-time dependencies of requested ports.
  (#60754, jmr in bbc10c2)

• port reclaim will now offer to delete old registry snapshots.
  (jmr in 6b5f407)

• port migrate and port restore will now check if ports set
  replaced_by and install the replacement instead. (jmr in 0ff09a1)

• The interactive message confirming the dependencies to be
  installed now includes their variants. (jmr in 8d1fbf2)

• port mpkg now checks architectures of dependencies and enables
  the universal variant if needed. (#34177, jmr in a83bf73)

• Added git livecheck.type. (makr in c1c02d8)

• compiler.blacklist can now include version comparisons. This
  functionality was previously provided by a PortGroup.
  (jmr in 89035db)

• Lower-case versions of environment variables controlling network
  proxy use are now accepted. (jmr in 5e9ddc1)

• Interactive confirmation will be requested if it looks like all
  active ports are about to be uninstalled.
  (#46229, jmr in 85438c2)

• port uninstall will once again allow interactively selecting
  multiple versions to uninstall when there is ambiguity.
  (#70922, jmr in 5d107c1)

• port archive will once again always ensure that an archive
  exists for the specified ports, even if port images are stored as
  directories on your system. If you just want to install without
  activating, use port install --no-activate. (jmr in e372075)

• Signify signatures are supported for the ports tree and archives.
  (jmr in d915971, ce4af0f)

• port lint no longer warns about patch filenames that end in a
  suffix indicating compression (e.g. .gz).
  (#70428, jmr in acc1304)

• port diagnose no longer fails when trying to check the
  permissions on directories if they don't exist.
  (#72087, jmr in 0a2b468)

• Installing without activating will no longer fail when there is a
  declared conflict. (jmr in f17785d)

• port rev-upgrade --id-loadcmd-check no longer fails on install
  names containing @rpath or @executable_path.
  (#67534, jmr in 34a8990)

• Build directory names are now much shorter to help avoid problems
  with some build systems and long paths. A symlink is created with
  the previous naming scheme. (#70539, jmr in 9911d29)

• Many copy operations now use clonefile if possible.
  (jmr in 3da9cd2)

  fix mpstats.
