Exactly. It's 10.13.

The point of that page, if I get it, is to list problems specific to that vesion of the OS, and it doesn't, precisely because "sierra" matches "highsierra" (right?). So using these silly names is precisely the problem, no? On Sep 26 15:58:04, smit...@fusion.gat.com wrote: > If I go to "Apple symbol" -> "About this mac", > I get a version number, not a name. Exactly. Why would you use anything else to identify the OS version?

It's not ideal, but it's still a good thing to start using something that works as opposed to continue using something that apparently does not.

I just fixed this and now the ticket appears in both lists. This ticket uses both keywords but only appears on the HighSierra list. On the other hand, https://trac.macports.org/ticket/55262 uses no keywords and appears on both lists. > So one work around is to start to try and use 10.13 and 10.12 etc., > instead of highsierra, sierra.
