iTerm Upcoming Versions

[Christopher Jones]

Looking at

https://github.com/macports/macports-ports/blob/master/aqua/iTerm2/Portfile <https://github.com/macports/macports-ports/blob/master/aqua/iTerm2/Portfile>

The port is already limited to 10.12 or newer…

I do still wonder if that couldn’t be extended by using the compiler black list port group accordingly...

Sometimes within MacPorts we can support OSes beyond what upstream expects, as we have things like fallback compilers etc., whilst upstream assumes you would only use Xcode supplied ones. So it really depends on what the limitation actually is.
