The directory /opt/local/var has always been part of MacPorts. In fact, I had a backup of the older version and, obviously this directory was still there… The only important difference is that now this /var directory contains a new subdirectory (called /macports), and not existing in the older MacPorts version, that contains the following subdirectories:</div><div class="">/build /distfiles /home /incoming /logs /registry /sip-workaround /software /sources </div><div class="">and a file called pingtimes. Most of those subdirectories contain a lot of directories and files... </div></div></blockquote><div><br></div><div>/opt/local/var/macports has also always existed (well, at least since the project was renamed to MacPorts) but it is usually hidden. If you are now seeing it in the Finder, then I guess the hidden flag has gotten unset somehow. It won't affect MacPorts functionality. You can hide it again if you wish. </div><br><blockquote type="cite"><div dir="ltr"><div class="">2) After typing "sudo port version” I get the following answer:</div><div class=""><div style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 11px; line-height: normal; font-family: Menlo; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);" class=""><span style="font-variant-ligatures: no-common-ligatures" class="">[iMac-de-Martin:~] xmartin% sudo port version</span></div><div style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 11px; line-height: normal; font-family: Menlo; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);" class=""><span style="font-variant-ligatures: no-common-ligatures" class="">Warning: port definitions are more than two weeks old, consider updating them by running 'port selfupdate'.</span></div><div style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 11px; line-height: normal; font-family: Menlo; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);" class=""><span style="font-variant-ligatures: no-common-ligatures" class="">Version: 2.9.1</span></div></div></div></blockquote><br><div>Great, so MacPorts was indeed successfully updated to 2.9.1, but the post-update sync failed to update your ports collection due to your rsync problem. </div></body></html>
