MacPorts 2.4.2 now available October 5, 2017

The MacPorts Project is pleased to announce the release of version 2.4.2. This is a bugfix 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, package installers are available for the most current macOS 10.13 High Sierra and all older releases back to OS X 10.4 Tiger. The source is also available as tarballs compressed with gzip or bzip2, or from the git tag.

Detached PGP signatures for the disk images and package installers have been made by Joshua Root, while the git tag and source tarballs have been signed by Rainer Müller. Both public keys are available on the keyservers and our MacPorts wiki pages, the fingerprints being:

0x01FF673FB4AAE6CD: C403 7936 5723 6DCF 2E58 0C02 01FF 673F B4AA E6CD 0x670191C05C5C6749: 7500 E6A3 6FA5 83B4 071B B540 6701 91C0 5C5C 6749
