Folks:
I suppose it's only fair, after my recent complaining, to show in the record
that all's well with Ethereal. I believe it can be built straight from the
DarwinPorts distribution without any folderal.
The trouble I was having most recently was that I hadn't updated my ports tree,
even though I thought I had. To fix that, I recommend the following change to
the documentation at this page:
http://darwinports.opendarwin.org/docs/ch01s04.html
Thanks to Toby and others who worked on this! It's cool to be able to peek at
packets on my network!

======= Suggested wording for the Updating DarwinPorts section of the
documentation ======
Updating DarwinPorts
New ports are always being added to the DarwinPorts dports tree, you should
regularly update your tree to get access to new ports, and (hopefully) improved
versions of current ports. Currently the simplest way you can update the dports
tree is to use cvs. To do this:
% cd ~/darwinports/dports
% cvs -z3 update -dP
You should see a set of lines printed out in the terminal as the update
progresses. You may need to update your PortIndex as mentioned previously:
portindex. [under what circumstances is this necessary?]
Updating DarwinPorts Infrastructure
You can also use cvs to fetch an new version of the DarwinPorts infrastructure
(eg the port command and associated libraries). To do this you should change
directories to the darwinports/base directory and execute the following
commands:
% cd ~/darwinports/base
% cvs -z3 update -dP
% ./configure
% make clean && make
% sudo make install
