 !DarwinPorts began as part of Apple's [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenDarwin OpenDarwin] effort, which was set up to provide an interface between Apple's developers and the open-source community. The !DarwinPorts web site was initially located at darwinports.opendarwin.org.

-In 2006 the !OpenDarwin project as a whole was shut down, and !DarwinPorts needed a new home. Apple set up [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mac_OS_Forge Mac OS Forge] to host Mac-related open-source projects, and the !DarwinPorts project accepted Apple's offer to be hosted there.

The old address www.darwinports.org continues to redirect there. The MacPorts project also owns www.macports.com and www.macports.net.
