Description (last modified by ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt))
This page detects QGIS3 version updates. Did not see the code in the Portfile. The version checking is working (mysteriously) to me. https://ports.macports.org/port/qgis3/details/
Work may needed on the QGIS distribution (not MacPorts). The version.txt files appear to required manual curation.
Latest versions and roadmap: https://www.qgis.org/resources/roadmap/
QGIS3 3.38.1
QGIS3-LTR 3.34.9
This page detects QGIS3 LTR (Long-term release) version updates. I did see code. One gets a "404" though. https://ports.macports.org/port/qgis3-ltr/details/
426 livecheck.url https://qgis.org/version-ltr.txt
The two relevant URLs appear to be:

Assuming version info is up to date, this regex may work to parse the first line of version.txt or version-ltr.txt and remove the need to doing any math to find the version information:
version (0|\[1-9\]\[0-9\]*).(0|\[1-9\]\[0-9\]*).(0|\[1-9\]\[0-9\]*)
==> version-ltr.txt <== #QGIS Version 33408|Visit https://download.qgis.org to get your copy of version 3.34.8|<html><body>
==> version.txt <== #QGIS Version 33800|Visit https://download.qgis.org to get your copy of version 3.38.0|<html><body>
Replying to multiquadric:
It's not mysterious; it's handled by the github portgroup.
If you mean that the version.txt file appears to be outdated then I agree with you.
Ok, so they changed the hostname for the version files. Easy to change.
I'll fix qgis3-ltr to use version-ltr.txt from the new URL. We could switch qgis3 to use version.txt. It would have the advantage that the version number would be reported "correctly", with dots separating the numbers instead of underscores as we have currently due to the way the github portgroup works and the way this project tags their releases. However, version.txt currently says 3.38.0 is the latest, as you said, but 3.38.1 has been available for a week; not sure why version.txt is lagging.
