Putting together a new machine (M2Pro Mini, Ventura 14.2) and have hit a snag installing MacPorts. I’ve not installed Xcode on any of my systems for a number of years now, I simply install the appropriate CLI package from the Apple site. In this case, I downloaded and installed v14.2. I then downloaded the MacPorts install package for Ventura and started it up. Twenty minutes later I’m still waiting for “Running Package Scripts …” to finish up.
Not being a MacPorts guru of any sort, I’m not sure what I should look at to see what’s up. One thing I did find is that a file named .base.tar.ZqfTHz is slowly growing larger. This file is in: /opt/local/var/macports/sources/rsync.macports.org/macports/release/tarballs I’m just letting it run for now, but I don’t ever recall this happening in other new installs. Any ideas?
