    3333 3. gcc considers `/usr/local` to be a standard system directory, causing (at least) the include directory to be unable to appear early in the list of include directories, and hence causing MacPorts-installed items to be difficult to use properly for items which need them (where another version is installed elsewhere, like `/usr/X11R6`)
    34 Some responses concerning `/usr/local` have [http://www.opendarwin.org/pipermail/darwinports/2004-May/021190.html been aired] on the mailing list over time.

    180 The process is pretty much the same as for any other open source project. See [http://www.opendarwin.org/pipermail/darwinports/2005-December/029412.html this email] to the MacPorts mailing list which is more specific, as well as the relevant [http://guide.macports.org/#project.membership documentation] and the [wiki:NewCommittersGuide New commiters guide] for what commit access to MacPorts entails.

    208 These steps will remove the stray file and force a rebuild of the infrastructure, overriding the release number comparison done by "selfupdate" between the local copy and the one on OpenDarwin servers.

    211210  Be sure you have the latest MacPorts before removing `portuninstall.tcl`. I had the same problem that I couldn't uninstall ports and so I first ran a `sudo port selfupdate` to get the latest version of MacPorts and removed the tcl file afterwards. But when running `sudo port -f selfupdate` it gave me this error message: `Failed to initialize ports system, couldn't read file "/opt/local/share/darwinports/Tcl/port1.0/portuninstall.tcl": no such file or directory` and stopped working.
