I recently created a launchd that updates and upgrades my macports every sunday night while I'll sleep. I'm currently trying to find out if there is a way to know when macports was last updated? I'd like to know if my launchd is truly working or not.

Answer 1

The first thing Macports has to do when updating is synchronising the ports. These are in /opt/local/var/macports/sources/rsync.macports.org/release/tarballs/ports. The modification date of this directory can tell you when the ports were last synchronised.
