Source code and pkgs for MacPorts 2.6.0-rc1 are now available [1]. Testing of either of these install methods is helpful.
Be prepared to encounter bugs. As always, having a recent backup would be wise. Please report any bugs that you find [2] (after first searching Trac [3], of course!) If no show-stopping bugs are found in the next few days, this will become the 2.6.0 release. There are a large number of changes in this release. See the ChangeLog [4] for a list of most of them. You may like to focus your testing on the new features in that list, as well as your normal usage. Notable changes since beta1 are: * Fixed `port deps` not showing depends_patch * Added `bump` action to port man page Please see the 2.6.0-beta1 announcement [5] for important information for users of Mac OS X 10.6, 10.7 and 10.8.
