Install logfile of vdt

In de780b4224a5ae07680dcf09463d5469b1aba7bb/macports-ports (master):

vdt: update to 0.4.4
Closes: #65755

[tventers]

Install logfile of vdt (5 Sep 2022)

[tventers]

vdt configure failure persists, though this time, the problem seems to be that CMake can't locate the source file (see attached log file from 5 Sep 2022).

that log is still for the old version. Please report back once you are using 0.4.4 and not 0.4.1

Perhaps the ports tree hasn't been updated? I had run 'port selfupdate' before trying to install again to ensure that my macports was up-to-date, but v0.4.1 was the version that macports attempted to install. I had to clone the directory in order to install the v0.4.4. However, that did end up working.

try running

sudo port -d sync

but yes, there is a delay between updates being pushe to git, and those updates to appear in the rsync'ed ports tree which is what people use by default (i.e. if they haven't switched to using git directly, which is what I prefer).
