 MacPorts 2.2.0 itself should install on Tiger. MacPorts trunk currently
 [https://lists.macosforge.org/pipermail/macports-
 dev/2013-September/024240.html will not] but that may soon be fixed.

 is very old and MacPorts' Tiger support is on a rapid downward spiral. All
 Intel Macs support at least Snow Leopard and there's no good excuse not to
 upgrade. You'll have a much better MacPorts experience by upgrading your
 OS X.

 Macports works fine, discounting some annoying port build failures. I
 shall try v2.2.0 first, then try sending detailed output.  Bye-the-by, I
 do have a Snow-leopard laptop, but, again, I am not interested in it's
 'new' features... still...

 Oddly, this all came about for me by becoming interested in development,
 again, using rsync and doing a good 'TimeMachine' for myself.  Having said
 the above, I have often been thwarted at getting and using Git.

 PS. Usefulness and experiences are not the same things :)
