Problem with MacPorts on OS X Leopard

[Unnsse Khan]

Hi Bryan,

Thanks for the response!

Question(s):

(1) How do I move the /opt/local aside (do you mean move into a  
separate tmp dir)?

(2) In addition, how would you suggest I install the new version of  
MacPorts (from source or dmg)?

(3) How do I move / merge the config stuff back (from tmp, if my  
assumption for line item # 1 is correct)?

Happy programming,

Unnsse
