Comment:
I'm not willing to tie MacPorts against another packaging system,
especially one known for providing old, outdated software. Similarly, I'm
not willing to add a new Portfile just for an older version, especially
when that doesn't provide a clear upgrade path for users who no longer
need that old version.
The solution here is if you need an old version, you can install it
yourself. You can even build ocaml through MacPorts still, which means
building unison yourself is trivial.
However, I think the better version is to just install 2.27 on your debian
machine. Sure, you're not admin, but you can still install it in your
$HOME/bin directory (heck, I think that's the default installation
location). Then just make sure that's first in PATH, or instruct your
other unison installs where to find the unison-2.27 binary.
