Description (last modified by larryv (Lawrence Velázquez))

Hello!

I was writing a puppet class to install things from macports. In the process, I wrote a class for macports itself. I was unsure what to put in the source part, though.

I mean, I could hardwire it to the URL of the current installer as to date, but that does nobody any favours.

I was wondering if you could please add download-friendly URLs for the installer, on the website. For example

https://distfiles.macports.org/MacPorts/MacPorts-current-Lion.pkg or

https://distfiles.macports.org/MacPorts/MacPorts-current-MountainLion.pkg or

https://distfiles.macports.org/MacPorts/MacPorts-current-Maverics.pkg

where current is the most up-to-date version of the MacPorts installer.

That would def add a sprinkle of automation more in my life.

Should higher intervention be needed, I am def willing to splurge for $beverage/$food -ofchoice to help the good people in Apple feel favourably towards this ticket.

Best Regads,

George Marselis
