Fwd: Interactive applications to be installed to /Applications/MacPorts?

[Christian Voelker]

> Hello,
>
> I found installed interactive Applications installed in different
> subdirectories of my /Applications folder, either MacPorts or
> DarwinPorts. I show AbiWord and python24 as examples here.
> I think, the name DarwinPorts is to be phased out, is it right?
>
> All my ports were installed within the last month and are current.
> I have to admit that I was not able to find the place in the Port-
> file of python24 that is responsible for placing files into
> /Applications/Darwinports. I did not find this file to be changed
> recently either.

> Maybe it has to do with a variable INSTALL_PATH set inside the
> code of macports itself, because this is the only place mentioning
> Darwinports as the install directory for Applications I found
> throughout /opt/local/var/db/dports/sources, but I did not find
> the connection to the python24 Portfile. I did not create ports
> myself so far and as such dont understand the whole thing in
> all its details.
