I don’t understand what it means to try using MacPorts master (2.6.99) instead. You’re assuming far more knowledge or experience than I possess!
Where on GitHub is that version? What do I do with it? If I install it, what happens to all the ports I already installed under Big Sur 11.1 using 2.6.4? And the cited Comment 3 says that if that does not work, to set the number of simultaneous pings lower, which is what I’m trying to do. So is the cited line in file /opt/local/libexec/macports/lib/port1.0/fetch_common.tcl only for this 2.6.99? > On 27 Jan2021, at 4:22 PM, Ryan Schmidt <ryandes...@macports.org> wrote: > > > > On Jan 27, 2021, at 15:20, Murray Eisenberg wrote: > >> In file >> >> /opt/local/libexec/macports/lib/port1.0/fetch_common.tcl >> >> I find NO line set max_hosts_to_ping >> set max_hosts_to_ping >> >> max_hosts_to_pingcontrary to the comment >> https://lists.macports.org/pipermail/macports-dev/2020-November/042592.html >> and https://trac.macports.org/ticket/61683#comment:16. > > I guess you missed the earlier step: > > https://trac.macports.org/ticket/61683#comment:3 > > > --- Murray Eisenberg murrayeisenb...@gmail.com 503 King Farm Blvd #101 Rockville, MD 20850-6667 Mobile (413)-427-5334
