Announcing MacPorts release 1.4.3

[James Berry]

Hi Greg,

You have darwinports 1.101 installed? We hoped we'd left all those  
users behind (or better, that they'd all upgraded by now).

Support for upgrades from 1.1 was lost sometime around 1.4. Your best  
bet will be to re-install from the MacPorts 1.4 disk image available   
at http://trac.macosforge.org/projects/macports/browser/downloads/ 
MacPorts-1.4.0.

Doing that should install a new copy of the MacPorts code over  
darwinports, hopefully leaving your installed ports intact.

Did I get all that right?

James
