The package still exists, but I've dropped maintainership. The FCOS docs mention that the package is available in MacPorts, but I don't think it needs to be kept 100% current or maintained directly by the CoreOS WG. The package is marked openmaintainer, so anyone can submit an update PR when they want.

Can we mark this section as optional instead to not completely forgot about it? or is it already referenced somewhere else in the Butane repo?

Hm, If possible could mark down what is required for macports and I can take the torch ?

@travier It's not referenced anywhere else in the upstream repo.

If we really want to continue maintaining it, we can. But: it's a completely different packaging system to learn, ideally requires a Mac for testing, has some quirks (go2port is buggy), and anyway isn't as widely used as Homebrew. My recommendation is to save some effort and let the package revert to community maintainership.
