No, it's not the same. It's a very clear difference between insults and
saying the fix is not the correctly wanted.

Moreover, I pointed at facts, and tickets numbers.
2 debated tickets out of 10 ?

And Jeremy reopend tickets when clearly asked to not reopen without more
info?

At MacPorts we have to find and walk a fine line, but our needs are comparable to Fink's, HomeBrew's and a few lesser known others, and together we do represent a large enough movement that our needs cannot just be waved off because we don't do everything the exact Mac way, or (in this case), because we happen to have X11 stuff available.

It's funny how VLC on Brew works fine and is used, notably by tomahawk
(pure Qt application) and we never ever had a problem with them.

We have numerous patches from all BSD, most Linux distributions, Windows
and so on, and all of them get merged, with the very notable exception
of MacPorts.

Sorry, but what regression?

> Of course I can also find a more hackish fix, like the fix I used to build against Qt4 instead of Qt5, but giving us the impression that we're on our own if we don't follow your build recipe exactly (because we can't) will only discourage us from sharing proper patches.

You can't use bootstrap, and configure?

With my kindest regards,
