Comment (by cal@…):

 Use WikiFormatting to format Terminal output (e.g. using !{{{ and }}}).
 MacPorts can not automatically switch itself to the trunk version, you
 need to follow http://guide.macports.org/#installing.macports.subversion
 to do that. That being said, it looks like the 2.3 release will arrive
 soon-ish.

 Please don't modify the value of prefix in macports.conf. It's meant to be
 strictly read-only (why do we even have it in there anyway?) and is
 probably what's keeping you from getting the binaries. If I remember
 correctly having a non-normalized prefix is not what's breaking things,
 it's the value of portdbpath.
