Portfile question for 10.6.8

Hi, I'm writing a Portfile, and I have two macOS systems to test it on: 10.6.8 and 10.14.6. Both have macports-2.8.1. I'm having trouble getting it working on macos-10.6.8. It doesn't know where to download the tarball from. This is the Portfile (minus blank lines): # -*- coding: utf-8; mode:

master_sites and codeberg.org

Hi, I have a Portfile question. I have the (possibly incorrect) impression that values in the list of ${master_sites} need to be URLs to a directory that can have a filename appended to it to download the distfile. Is that correct? Or can it be the URL to the distfile itself? I'm asking because

p5-* perl module ports question

Hi. All of the p5-* perl module ports have: perl5.branches 5.28 5.30 5.32 5.34 Why is that? There's a perl5.36 port, and there are perl5.16-perl5.26 ports. I'm curious. I was expecting to see a branch for all available versions of perl5. cheers, raf
