I will have a look at the selfupdate on startup. All the commands run by Porticus should run with the appropriate privileges, the helper application which actually executes the port commands is executed as setuid root (which is why Porticus asks for the admin username and password when performing an operation). Hi Jeff, thanks for the report. I will have a look at the selfupdate on startup.

I'm very thankful for Porticus and all the work you've put into it. I'm writing as well to report a bug; I don't find anywhere else to report one. It appears that in 1.8.1 selfupdate does not work if set to automatically do so at launch. at least it doesn't work for me. it appears to run, but it actually doesn't selfupdate. also - any chance you could offer a sudo mode and allow sudo commands? thanks!!! - J Thanks so much for such a great tool!

Right now I'm leaving MP to the flat database so I can continue to use it. BUT I guess that might make Porticus obsolete sonish, since all new users of MacPorts will have the squlite database by default :( ow, too bad :(

At this point it Porticus should really be rewritten to do so but right now I don't have the time I'm afraid. Unfortunately right now Porticus does not use the sqlite database.

If you haven't uninstalled the previous version you can deactivate the current version and then activate the previous version. Porticus shows the currently installed versions and you can select to activate or deactivate the versions.

Thanks for a nice program. Is it possible to "downgrade" a package that is installed. I have problems to do that manually. Hello!
