MacPorts 2.9.0-beta1 now available for testing

[Joshua Root]

Source code and pkgs for MacPorts 2.9.0-beta1 are now
available [1]. Testing of either of these install methods is helpful.

Be prepared to encounter bugs. As always, having a recent backup would
be wise. Please report any bugs that you find [2] (after first searching
Trac [3], of course!)

There are a large number of changes in this release. See the ChangeLog
[4] for a list of most of the major ones. You may like to focus your
testing on the new features in that list, as well as your normal usage.

Cheers,
Josh
