It’s installed via MacPorts, it’s whatever is setup there. Port maintainers very rarely use SVN revisions.

hi, like stretch, I’m a little confused as to why you would want to go down some convoluted unix/terminal/command line route when the .dmg installer is a simple easy way of installing firefly. Granted i’m not entirely sure what your port maintainers are/used for but with respect, your instructions are hardly conducive to installing firefly for the average user.

I can see that you have put in a lot of work to document your instructions but really, I think they muddy the waters for someone new looking to install firefly on a Mac. The GUI installer for the stable & 2 semi-stable releases is pretty straightforward and bar a couple of things that might trip up a new user (search & ye shall find the solutions!) I can’t help but think you’re over complicating matters.

With respect, Andy
