You can edit a portfile by using "port edit webpublish", assuming
your EDITOR environment variable is set up properly.
The webpublish port needed to be updated, which I did:
http://trac.macosforge.org/projects/macports/changeset/27097
Wait 12 hours, then "sudo port sync", then you should be able to
install webpublish 0.1.1_0.
The port used "master_sites gnu" but GNU moved the software out of
the "gnu" directory and into the "old-gnu" directory. We do not
appear to have a "master_sides old-gnu" option. Should we? For now,
I'm hardcoding the URL of the main GNU server, since such "old"
software will hopefully not be in great demand.
Also, the port was at version 0.1.0 which would not build on my machine:
$ sudo port install

I upgraded the port to use the last version of webpublish, 0.1.1, and
that built for me.
