The cache is keyed by OS version and list of packages to be installed, with no other forced invalidation right now. So it's hard to predict when a new version of a package will be picked up and it will differ between git repositories. I've been wondering whether the cached macports install should just be regularly generated instead, along the other ci images.

Yeah, my experience is that macports is pretty quick about picking up
new releases. If you can persuade upstream to make a release happen,
that'd be great.
