 Hello!

 I was writing a puppet class to install things from macports. In the
 process, I wrote a class for macports itself. I was unsure what to put in
 the source part, though.

 I mean, I could hardwire it to the URL of the current installer as to
 date,, but that does nobody any favours.


 I was wondering if you could please add download-friendly URLs for the
 installer, on the website. For example

 https://distfiles.macports.org/MacPorts/MacPorts-current-Lion.pkg or

 https://distfiles.macports.org/MacPorts/MacPorts-current-MountainLion.pkg
 or

 https://distfiles.macports.org/MacPorts/MacPorts-current-Maverics.pkg

 where current is the most up-to-date version of the MacPorts installer.

 That would def add a sprinkle of automation more in my life.

 Should higher intervention be needed, I am def willing to splurge for
 $beverage/$food -ofchoice to help the good people in Apple feel favourably
 towards this ticket.

 Best Regads,

 George Marselis
