The support in base is missing to differentiate between binary archives with a different cxx_stdlib. That is required to provide an upgrade path for existing installations. > Is dropping support for <10.9 something MP team is considering? Any version of macOS older than 10.9 Mavericks is considered legacy already. This means we do not expect maintainers to actively look into fixing issues, but submitted patches should be accepted and applied as long as they do not break functionality for later versions. > As a 10.8-user, MP is for me one motive to still use Apple's platform, or at > least, delay moving completely to Linux. I have personally no interest in supporting legacy systems. However, I am willing to give guidance and review patches for that. Rainer
