+    <p>If you already have MacPorts installed and have no restrictions to use the rsync networking protocol (tcp port 873 by
+    default), the easiest way to upgrade to our latest available release, <b><?php print $mp_version_latest; ?></b>, is by using
+    the <kbd>selfupdate</kbd> target of the <kbd>port(1)</kbd> command. This will both update your ports tree (by performing
+    a <kbd>sync</kbd> operation) and rebuild your current installation if it's outdated, preserving your customizations if any.</p>
