Porticus, Lion and MacPorts 2.0

admin — Thu, 18 Aug 2011 10:19:44 +0000

Both Lion and MacPorts 2.0 have issues with the current version of Porticus unfortunately my time is very limited just now and so far the fix is looking like quite lot of work. I will continue to investigate and if I can get Porticus working on Lion I will post an update. I wish I could provide more positive news…

Porticus 1.8.1 Rebuilt

admin — Wed, 30 Dec 2009 20:10:09 +0000

Apologies to anyone who downloaded the 1.8.1 DMG file which was badly broken. A new version has been uploaded and should work as expected. Internal application updates were not affected by the DMG packaging bug.

This release updates the Greek localisation and has a couple of minor bug fixes. If anyone sees hangs when updating the port database let me know, I would be interested to know if it goes away after a selfupdate as well.

I have started adding a little help to the web site, thanks to Jim Busser for providing the basis for this.

Porticus 1.6.3 Released

admin — Tue, 07 Jul 2009 08:03:49 +0000

A new version of Porticus is now available, this is a bugfix release. It fixes a bug when uninstalling multiple ports where the installed ports have variants selected. The uninstall should now operate correctly.
