Download MacPorts 1.8.2

The MacPorts project is owned by an open source community that wants a simple and complete system available for running open source software on Mac OS X. For example, compiling, installing, and updating a commandline, X11, or Aqua application would the developers should be a piece of cake. For example, it can be compared with ports from FreeBSD and portage from Gentoo Linux. For more information, we refer you to this page. The developers have released version 1.8.2 through the mailing list and provided it with the following announcement:

MacPorts 1.8.2 has been released

The MacPorts Project is pleased to announce the release of version 1.8.2. This is a bug fix release with small changes only. see the ChangeLog for the list of changes.

If you already have MacPorts installed, the preferred method for updating is to run:
sudo port selfupdate

For new installs, there are also package installers in disk images available for 10.4, 10.5, and 10.6 (all universal builds, the first two i386/ppc and the latter i386/x86_64) here. The source is also available as tarballs compressed with gzip or bzip2, or from the subversion tag.

Detached PGP signatures for the disk images and source tarballs have been made with my key, which is available on the keyservers and my MacPorts wiki pagethe fingerprint being:
