Mac Ports¶
Routine Usage:
$ sudo port -d selfupdate
$ sudo port upgrade outdated
$ port search --name --glob 'php*'
$ port search --name --line --glob 'php*'
$ port search --name --line --regex '^php\d*$'
$ port search rrd
$ sudo port select --set python python36
$ sudo port select --set python3 python36
$ sudo port install python36
$ sudo port select --set python3 python36
$ sudo port install py36-pip
$ sudo python3 -m pip install --upgrade pip
Migration:
Install OS X version specific Mac ports release; see Mac Ports Migration (below)
# Backup current configuration
$ port -qv installed > myports.txt
$ port echo requested | cut -d ' ' -f 1 | uniq > requested.txt
$ sudo port -f uninstall installed
$ sudo rm -rf /opt/local/var/macports/build/*
# Migrate confguration to new version
$ curl --location --remote-name https://github.com/macports/macports-contrib/raw/master/restore_ports/restore_ports.tcl
$ chmod +x restore_ports.tcl
$ xattr -d com.apple.quarantine restore_ports.tcl
$ sudo ./restore_ports.tcl myports.txt
# Rebuild selected ports
$ sudo port unsetrequested installed
$ xargs sudo port setrequested < requested.txt
Notes:
Mac ports builds are tied to the major Darwin release and will require migration when the base OS is upgraded.
xattr -d com.apple.quarantine restore_ports.tcl will return an error if the quarintine property isn’t set, disregard.
Mac ports builds all software locally (BSD style) and thus upgrade outdated can take a significant amount of time.
