Re: Please do not remove Tiger support

Hi, AFAIK it might be useful to have Tiger binaries and e.g. not updating from sources all the time. That way, Tiger users might have less current versions of software but at least you might have some version of freeciv instead of nothing, as an example. Johan Sent from my iPod > On Feb 11,

Re: Please do not remove Tiger support

RE: Please do not remove Tiger support

Just for a note, there is no problem in explicitly stating that no tickets for 10.4 will be accepted and just close such tickets as wontfix. (And Ken, for example, recently went as far as closing as wontfix all tickets for bugs discovered on 10.6 PowerPC even when those had not been specific to

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
