Started testing on 10.4 Intel:
after upgrading /opt/local to the release-2.7 branch tip building from git
source I am seeing this, which I have not previously noticed:
$ port
sqlite error: attempt to write a readonly database (1544) while executing
query: ATTACH DATABASE '/opt/local/var/macports/registry/registry.db' AS
registry
while executing
"registry::open $db_path"
(procedure "mportinit" line 712)
invoked from within
"mportinit ui_options global_options global_variations"
Error: /opt/local/bin/port: Failed to initialize MacPorts, sqlite error:

$ port -v

/opt/local/var/macports/registry/registry.db
using “sudo” for routine port commands, like “sudo port -v outdated” still
works.
(how I build MacPorts:
I build base in /opt/bootstrap, then install curl in that /opt/boostrap
installation.
then I build and install base in /opt/local like this:
./configure —with-curlprefix=/opt/bootstrap —with-sqlite3prefix=/opt/bootstrap
