"Experimental packaging is available for the FreeBSD (.tbz package), Fedora (.rpm package) and Ubuntu (.deb package) operating systems." Do we have any of these?

Do not expect it to build any software. Probably many ports will build. Probably many won't. So we should ask: Robert: What do you want to do with MacPorts on Linux? ___ macports-users mailing list macports-users@lists.macosforge.org https://lists.macosforge.org/mailman/listinfo/macports-users

However, MacPorts base does build on Linux systems (if you install some GNUstep libraries and have an Objective-C compiler). I shall warn you though: Pretty much the only useful thing you can do with this Linux version of MacPorts is generate a PortIndex and mirror distfiles.
