Folks,

As you may have noticed a few weeks ago, I opened a PR 
https://github.com/macports/macports-ports/pull/20092 
<https://github.com/macports/macports-ports/pull/20092> in which I propose 
enabling the execution of port test as part of GitHub's CI.

I understand that not all ports currently have tests, but a lot of them does.

My goal here is to enhance the quality of tests for the ports, which will allow 
me to proceed with a bot that runs `port livecheck...` and detects when ports 
are updated. Subsequently, it will open a PR to update a port with the updated 
version and checksums, but only if such a port has tests.

Why? To automate the process of updating ports. We have a vast number of ports, 
and many of them can be updated quite easily. Enabling the execution of port 
tests on GitHub will ensure that such automatically generated PRs are of 
sufficient quality to be merged.

What's the ultimate goal? To keep MacPorts dynamically updated.
