Description (last modified by bernstei)

texlive-bibtex-extras appears to install biber-ms, but all it creates are two symlinks with a missing target.

macports 2.10.2, just updated, macOS 14.7

In 05e2cdac1fc6436b9a92f3e183adf29d433c1a6e/macports-ports (master):

biblatex-biber-ms: new port, v4.0

This is the multiscript version of biber. It still uses the Biber::
perl module name so we install it in a different location and rename
the biber script to biber-ms.

See: #71069
