	Evening everyone!

	I'm pleased to announce that MacPorts 1.5.1 has been released  
through selfupdate, comprising the following fixes and enhancements:

Release 1.5.1 (11-August-2007 at branches/release_1_5/base's r27646,  
by jmpp):

     - Remove sed rules taking care of dp based comments in the  
macports.conf file from the upgrade target in base/Makefile.in,
       they were causing problems for people with /opt/dports or  
similar prefixes (jmpp in r27618).

     - Facelift to the PortIndex2MySQL.tcl script to make it  
selfcontained and work with the new macports1.0 api to
       generate SQL statements with information extracted from  
Portfiles (jmpp in r27415).

     - Always print the livecheck regex in debug mode, not only when  
it fails (ryandesign in r27379).

     - Detect some mtree violations within ${prefix}. Test can be  
overriden by "destroot.violate_mtree yes" in a Portfile
       (mww in r27199).

     - Fix version comparison in MacPorts initialization to properly  
detect Tcl versions 8.4.7 and later (sfiera in r27127).

     - Fix double de-escaping of livecheck.regex inadvertently  
introduced in r26041 (eridius in r27079).

     - Added new Portfile options to the configure stage for  
selecting compiler(s) (mww in r27018, r27021, r27022 and r27053)

     - New logic in the upgrade target to account for cases where the  
old and new versions consist of different
       numbers of segments (sfiera in r26921).

     - Remove dead OpenDarwin mirrors from our mirrors list (jmpp in  
r26903)

     - New tests for violations of common directory structure (and  
option to override them for special cases)

     - Added new variable ${os.major} that contains the Darwin major  
version (eridius r26693, ticket #12224).


	Selfupdate at will (in a couple of minutes to allow for the updates  
to reach the rsync sever ;-) and report any problems you might  
encounter to our lists and/or as tickets on trac.macports.org.

	Thanks again to all those working hard to improve MacPorts with  
every single one of our releases, most appreciated! To everyone else,  
enjoy 1.5.1!

	Regards,...
