Stopping time

The goal is to get MacPorts 2.10.7, the last version that works on MacOS 10.4, on my pismo and “freeze” the ports tree. It did the following:

# get the ports repo
git clone https://github.com/macports/macports-ports.git
cd macports-ports

# checkout the last commit *before* the 2.10.7 release announcement time
git checkout "$(git rev-list -1 --before='2025-05-05 12:00:00' master)"

# build a PortIndex for this snapshot
portindex

I then copied this onto my Pismo via a thumb drive. 4 hours in and portindex is still running.
