	Good morning people! We are pleased to announce the final release of  
DarwinPorts 1.3.1, with many bug fixes over the short lived 1.3  
release. For a moderately detailed list of the fixes that were  
incorporated please have a look at our ChangeLog:

http://cvs.opendarwin.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/proj/darwinports/base/ 
ChangeLog?rev=1.32.2.5

	Updating can be accomplished through any of the usual ways: selfupdate  
for those already with a dp installation, or by downloading the sources  
and building yourself or installing from the prebuilt images for  
Panther and Tiger (Universal) located at our downloads page,  
http://darwinports.org/getdp/

	I'd like to note that, although extensive testing went into this  
release to insure the highest quality, there's still a relatively small  
bug in the final installation, harmless to most I'm sure. There's a new  
script for those of you who use dp with command files (see the  
documentation for the -F flag on the port(1) man page), 'portf', which  
is just a symbolic link to the usual 'port' script as a shorthand for  
'port -F' (useful if you wish to use 'port' in a shell script, using  
'#!/usr/bin/env portf' as the shebang). However, the instructions for  
the creation of this link were incorrect at first (corrected already in  
our sources, up for our next release) and therefore all you'll see is a  
broken link. To correct it simply execute:

cd ${prefix}/bin
sudo rm -f portf
sudo ln -s ${prefix}/port portf

	${prefix} expanding to where ever you decided to install DarwinPorts,  
/opt/local by default.

	Other than that, DarwinPorts should be well in shape for all your  
enjoyment! This release brings in full compatibility with all our  
Portfiles, including some that had received updates with features that  
weren't in 1.2.1, like livecheck.

	We are all indebted to Paul Guyot and Charlie Allom, who both put a  
lot into the development of 1.3 and 1.3.1, and into the coordination  
and engineering of their releases, they wouldn't have happened without  
them. Thanks a lot guys!

	Any problems, unexpected behavior, bugs... you know what to do ;-)

	On behalf of portmgr@, regards....
