I would expect 100% of ports are affected by this issue when using the command "port pkg" and 0% of ports are affected by this issue when using other port commands that have nothing to do with packaging like "port install". > Otherwise, how's it going with installing ports on Lion? Probably there are hundreds of broken ports at this time, since Lion just came out yesterday. It will probably be months before most of them are fixed (and years until they all are, based on experience with past OS upgrades). If you want a stable system, don't upgrade to Lion at this time. > What about ports that were already made from sources and installed on Snow > Leopard, can they run ok as binaries on such a system upgraded to Lion? Maybe? No idea. Try it out. _______________________________________________ macports-users mailing list macports-users@lists.macosforge.org http://lists.macosforge.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/macports-users
