Comment (by ryandesign):

 Replying to [ticket:62255 jasonliu--]:
 > I haven't actually tried clicking on the "Install Update" button, but I
 suspect that it will behave in the normal way of downloading the new VLC
 and performing an in-place upgrade.

 Presumably it would. Either that or say it cannot due to lack of
 permissions.

 > Wouldn't this break the "MacPorts identity" of the package?

 Yes, it would.

 > If I recall correctly, the old method of packaging VLC actually disabled
 the "Check for Update" functionality. Should we not be doing the same for
 the new package?

 If we can, yes we should.
