Comment (by ryandesign@…):

 Replying to [comment:9 braumann@…]:
 > However, I have a {{{macports}}} installation since more than five years
 and I never ever had to manually touch the {{{macports.conf}}} before. So
 I have no idea why this line was previously not commented out, and I also
 have no idea about possible side effects which may arise from my
 manipulation.

 Because we changed the defaults a few years ago. It's your responsibility,
 every time MacPorts base is updated, to compare the contents of your
 macports.conf (which MacPorts never touches) with macports.conf.default in
 the same directory (which is updated by MacPorts), and adopt any changes
 from the latter into the former.

 The side effects of changing the macportsuser from root to macports is
 that strange ports will no longer have free reign to read or write files
 anywhere they please; they're now restricted to reasonable locations. This
 is a good thing—it's more secure—and it's why we made this change in the
 defaults.
