MacPorts 2.0.0-rc1 now available for testing

[Dominik Reichardt]

Hi,

What is recommended for Lion? I'm switched through the developer program and the previously installed ports work fine but "port upgrade outdated" doesn't work fine. Didn't expect it to, I know I need to rebuild anyway. Just thought I'd wait for MacPorts 2.0, especially since there isn't a designated Lion download.
So is it recommended to switch via the SL build of MacPorts 2.0 rc1 or wait a bit longer (which isn't a problem right now)?

Take care

Dom
