The 2.8.0 release wasn't "off".
MacPorts 2.8.1 reverted a change that had been made back in MacPorts 2.6.0
that provided some automatic handling for ports that do not specify the
correct `worksrcdir` and new code handling that situation in a different
way was added. The github portgroup has always (since long before MacPorts
2.6.0) included its own code to handle that situation, since ports like
xar that use automatically-generated github tarballs do not specify the
correct `worksrcdir` because it is inconvenient to do so because it
changes with every version. The github portgroup
[changeset:2f9ae24dc6469c416792fbe2945a1712a681eb65/macports-ports was
modified] on January 6 to use the new MacPorts base code when MacPorts
2.8.1 or later is used.
We don't support the use of older MacPorts versions once a new one has
been available for 2 weeks. MacPorts 2.8.1 was out on January 30. The old
code in the github portgroup that allowed it to work on MacPorts 2.8.0 and
earlier [changeset:c97c7bdae9e90d22924637f003eefb7b568ad25b/macports-ports
was removed] on February 25 which could explain your difficulty trying to
install an affected port with MacPorts 2.8.0 on March 3.
