Description (last modified by barracuda156)
See: https://github.com/macports/macports-ports/pull/17555#issuecomment-1413348049
The same port builds fine in 2.8.0, but fails after I updated Macports to 2.8.1. This also explains multiple failures on CI in that PR, which were a total surprise for me, since everything built fine locally and also built fine on CI earlier (in initial, huge version of the PR which I downscaled, removing 2/3 of ports).
UPD.
I have found the proximate cause: what was previously created as a symlink to extracted source, now is created as an empty directory. Sure enough, nothing works. Already existing R ports are broken too, at least some of them (it seems CRAN-sources ports are broken, but not Github-sourced).

Replying to jmroot:
Everything was working in Macports 2.8.0. (Not just for me, but on Macports buildbots.)

Yes, you said that before. The fix is still to set worksrcdir correctly in the portgroup.

UPD. See above: the reason is changed behavior to port extract.
