Re: Please do not remove Tiger support

I really don't know how I feel about this: https://github.com/mistydemeo/tigerbrew In general, I am not a fan of Homebrew. However, for Tiger users feeling left out by MacPorts' recent changes, maybe that fork will be helpful? I've already seen mention on MacRumors of forking MacPorts to retain

Ken, sorry to see you go. By all means, prioritizing self care is vital!

g personally, I thought it might be worth discussing more openly about how the project at large might benefit more holistically than me as an individual contributor and maintainer. Other than that, I hope everyone has been doing OK with 2025 and the year of the Wood Snake! | グ レ ェ ーgrey

I think I may have run into a similar issue with how tests have changed in CI with 2.9.x MacPorts and the OpenSSH 9.7p1 PR I submitted yesterday: https://github.com/macports/macports-ports/pull/22981 Going back to reverting to 9.6p1 locally and running port -d -v test I see that it fails with the

Thanks for the explanation! I had done some dependency walks with some pointers from neverpanic, but hadn't been able to make heads or tails of why some of the things were the way they were. On Tue, Jan 2, 2024 at 8:20 AM Joshua Root wrote: > > On 2/1/2024 11:24, grey wrote: > >

Preliminary testing for the handful of ports for which I am listed as a maintainer went off without a hitch! However, I have a question which maybe someone who is a bit more of a Python wizard can explain for me? Note: I don't think this is an issue with the beta at all. For example, I performed

To chime in on this, and take what I write with a grain of salt since I still feel relatively new to MacPorts, but too much dependence on GitHub gives me the heebie jeebies. I realize Trac isn't perfect, but there are far worse issue tracking systems that I have administered over the decades. If

Hello! This https://trac.macports.org/ticket/67539 was opened about a week ago, and while I have not been able to replicate it on any of my systems locally, it seems as if the root cause is due to XCode's clang (related: https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/issues/57692 and https://infosec.exchang

This is a tangential, so please forgive me if this seems as if it is the wrong time to bring this up, but I seem to have some Rustaceans who may know more about this than I. I was recently seeing if there might be a way to improve upon the FFmpeg ports (there are currently three: ffmpeg, fffmpeg-d
