Description

Installing macports is a time-consuming part in my CI, so I guess backing up /opt/local will help:

- name: Cache MacPorts
  id: cache-macports
  uses: actions/cache@v2
  with:
    path: /opt/local/
    key: ${{ runner.os }}-macports-${{ hashFiles('macos_build.txt') }}

However, since #133 didn't accept using sudo tar, I got a long error log all about permissons:

Run actions/cache@v2

Is it possible to introduce some sort of sudo, or is there any workaround?

Thanks in advance!
