Small MacPorts tutorial, thanks ;-) (Was: Re: easiest version of linux for subversion)

[Holger Rauch <ho...@heitec.de>]

Hi Ryan,

thanks a lot for this excellent little tutorial on using MacPorts! I've
recently bought a Mac Mini and now I finally know how to specify variants of
a port from the cmd line. Putting the stuff in ports.conf ufortunately didn't
do the job for me. Also, I've not yet upgraded the installed MacPorts, so I
found this hint very helpful as well.
