Not yet, the released version is 5.9, not 5.9p1 that will be the portable one (at least if one is to believe the text on the front page).

Also, I'll wait a little while for the HPN patch package to appear…

5.9p1 Portfile

comment:4 Changed 13 years ago by dj_mook@…

For those who don't want to wait or use the HPN patches I attached a portfile that successfully builds 5.9p1 on Lion. Since this is not intended to be used to patch the actual portfile I didn't bother including a unified diff file.

Speaking of the HPN variant, I'm responsible for it being there in the first place, but description{} didn't exist back then and my terse comment in the Portfile that turned into description{} was lacking... Currently it's unclear to the average user why you would ever not want it (I like high performance!) when in fact it will slow down interactive ssh and be no different at best for file transfers unless you have a high bandwidth-delay network, which most people do not since they aren't in data/supercomputing centers or network research labs.

Every time I see the HPN variant go by in a commit it bugs me, figured I'd finally say something about it. Something like "apply HPN patch for high bandwidth-delay networks" would be much better and hopefully scare away most users from selecting it (since it's also not as debugged/hardened/maintained/etc as portable openssh either)
