Comment (by ryandesign):

 The 2.10.2 files went up last month. The 2.10.3 and 2.10.4 files went up
 today.

 To document the process I currently do manually:

 In a web browser, visit https://github.com/macports/macports-
 base/releases. Click "Show All Assets". For each asset (except the two
 "Source Code" links at the bottom which are automatically generated by
 GitHub), click the asset to download it.

 Find the date and time of the release. For example, to the left of the
 2.10.4 release it currently says "yesterday". Mousing over "yesterday"
 reveals the actual release date in my local time, Oct 31, 2024, 6:41 PM
 CDT.

 In the Terminal, go to the Downloads folder:

 {{{
 cd ~/Downloads
 }}}

 Delete the `com.apple.quarantine` and other extended attributes the
 browser added:

 {{{
 xattr -c MacPorts-*
 }}}

 The modification time of the files will have been set to the download
 time. Change it to the time the release was created:

 {{{
 touch -t 202410311841 MacPorts-*
 }}}

 Copy the files to the server:

 {{{
 scp -Cpr MacPorts-* xxx at build:/tmp
 }}}

 ssh to the server:

 {{{
 ssh xxx at build
 }}}

 Go to the /tmp directory:

 {{{
 cd /tmp
 }}}

 Change the ownership of the files to the buildbot user:

 {{{
 sudo chown buildbot:buildbot MacPorts-*
 }}}

 Move the files to the right directory:

 {{{
 sudo mv -v MacPorts-*
 /Volumes/RAID/opt/local/var/rsync/macports/distfiles/MacPorts/
 }}}
