It always takes a little time for releases to propagate to the rsync
mirrors. 2.9.2 took longer than usual because of some downtime for the
master server. 2.9.3 is on the mirrors now.

We don't ship m4 with MacPorts base, so a new base release won't do
anything for missing m4 issues. Ultimately Apple needs to release a new
command line tools version that includes m4 again, and in the meantime
each port that uses m4 needs to either run it by the name 'gm4' instead
(since Apple still included that), or declare a dependency on the m4
port. If you notice a port is affected and there is no ticket open for
it, please open one.
