It is likely that many ports will still fail to build on macOS 11 at this point. And \
for those that do build, we won&#39;t start building archives for macOS 11 until \
after it&#39;s released, and once we start it will take weeks to build everything, \
meaning if you upgrade early, it&#39;s likely you&#39;ll have to build ports from \
source, which takes time.<br> <br>
So as with all other major OS versions, I encourage you to wait awhile before \
upgrading to macOS 11 if you want a smoother transition for your MacPorts \
software.<br> <br>
Once you do upgrade, as always, you should follow the migration instructions:<br>
