Subject: [MacPorts-announce] MacPorts 1.9.0 has been released
Message-ID: <4C0EADDF.5020103@macports.org>

The MacPorts Project is happy to announce that the 1.9.0 version has now
been released. It is available via the usual methods:

 - selfupdate if you already have MacPorts installed
 - package installers in DMGs for 10.4 [1], 10.5 [2], and 10.6 [3] (all
   universal builds, the first two i386/ppc and the latter i386/x86_64)
 - source tarballs, both .tar.bz2 [4] and .tar.gz [5]
 - subversion tag [6]

The list of what's new in 1.9.0 is quite extensive (so I won't list it
here), the details can be found in the NEWS [7] file or the somewhat
more exhaustive ChangeLog [8].

One particular change that requires special attention is the new SQLite
registry format, which will be the preferred format moving forward. It
is the default for new installs, but existing installs will need their
macports.conf edited in order to use it, by changing 'portdbformat flat'
to 'portdbformat sqlite'. After making this change, your existing flat
receipts will be converted the first time you run port(1) with
sufficient privileges (this usually means using sudo; e.g. 'sudo port
installed').

A big thanks to the developers for their hard work with all of the
various features and bug fixes in 1.9.0, and to all those who helped out
by reporting bugs or testing.

Detached PGP signatures for the DMGs and source tarballs have been made
with my key, which is available on the keyservers and my MacPorts wiki
page [9].

Subject: [MacPorts-announce] MacPorts 1.9.1 has been released
Message-ID: <4C1ACE40.1020004@macports.org>

The MacPorts Project is pleased to announce the release of version
1.9.1. This is a bugfix release with small changes only. See the
ChangeLog [1] for the list of changes.

If you already have MacPorts installed, the preferred method for
updating is to run:

  sudo port selfupdate

For new installs, there are also package installers in disk images
available for 10.4, 10.5, and 10.6 (all universal builds, the first two
i386/ppc and the latter i386/x86_64) at [2]. The source is also
available as tarballs compressed with gzip or bzip2, or from the
subversion tag [3].

Detached PGP signatures for the disk images and source tarballs have
been made with my key, which is available on the keyservers and my
MacPorts wiki page [4], the fingerprint being:

0xB70C8867DCDBFF26: B6D0 0D4B 209D 03FF 2BCE  B77F B70C 8867 DCDB FF26
