I'm 100% sure that I never checked their git repository. I just did
what livecheck was suggesting me to do.

If livecheck change in MP did not influence the behaviour, my only
explanation would be that they might have found a bug and reverted
back to 1.1 by default, but I have absolutely no clue. Or that
something in the pypi architecture changed.

Yes, that's what I guessed. But I was totally confused yesterday. I
initially thought that I dreamed about version 1.2 :) and started
wondering whether the files existed somewhere at all.

Thank you.

But why

> port -v livecheck p5-config-simple
p5-config-simple seems to have been updated (port version: 4.59, new
version: 4.58)

then? Do we need to fix something parts of other code as well?

I opened
    https://trac.macports.org/ticket/51591
and I am eagerly waiting for David to come back and to solve all
remaining problems :)
