Where MacPorts keeps its logs

MacPorts logs to /opt/local/var/macports/logs/ on macOS.

Paths are printed exactly as MacPorts writes them. Environment variables like %LOCALAPPDATA% and $XDG_STATE_HOME are never expanded, so a path can be pasted straight into a shell. Where a path differs between installer types or shipping flavours, each one is racked as its own card below - why that happens.

Per-port build logs

/opt/local/var/macports/logs/- main.log per port; deleted after a successful install. `port logfile <name>` prints the path.
