I'm not surprised -- it's undocumented and potentially dangerous to do sudo port install $some-random-url-from-the-internet It's just as bad as ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL $if-you-know-what-I-mean)" However, I noticed this was possible when I ripped out some of the mport:// source sync code and was asked to put it back in, especially because it can be used to install older versions from the binaries archives we publish on packages.macports.org. If you run port notes https://neverpanic.de/documents/mpstats.tar it'll work just fine. -- Clemens Lang _______________________________________________ macports-users mailing list macports-users@lists.macosforge.org https://lists.macosforge.org/mailman/listinfo/macports-users
