Executing "port install darcs" yesterday on a PowerPC Mac running Leopard, I got:

I'll install a binary manually instead, just wanted to let you know.

Hi Tim,

That port's fairly out of date.  Perhaps you could try darcs 2.3 which now uses
Cabal?  I thought the Intel ones were caught up; is it not the same tree for
PowerPC?

Thanks!

Apparently it's not the same tree for PowerPC? I didn't change any settings or
anything, just typed "port install darcs" and 2.1.0 is what I got.

Just in case, have you done a port sync recently?

After executing "port sync" and then "port selfupdate", I was able to build
darcs successfully. Thanks!
