Comment(by ryandesign@…):

 Replying to [comment:19 illogic-al@…]:
 > I have no idea what the changes upstream were made. All I know is bugs
 were fixed and 5564 works better (as in, at all).

 What I was trying to figure out was why your proposed portfile changes the
 entire port -- changes how it builds, makes it build universal all the
 time, causes it to violate the mtree, no longer appends the customary
 suffix to the binaries -- when your original request was simply to enable
 C++ support and to update to a newer version.

 I think the universal support you've added is what's causing the port to
 fail to build for me. I'm on Leopard on Intel but my universal_archs
 contains all four architectures (i386 ppc x86_64 ppc64), and with your
 [attachment:Portfile.3 Portfile.3] and [attachment:Portfile.4 Portfile.4]
 I get the message:

 {{{
 /mp/var/macports/build/_Users_rschmidt_macports_dports_lang_apple-
 gcc42/work/gcc_42-5564/obj-i686-ppc64/./gcc/as: line 2: exec: ppc64: not
 found
 }}}

 The full log is [attachment:apple-gcc42.txt.bz2 attached].

 We should keep in mind that this is not our port. Although the maintainer
 has not responded to this issue within the prescribed 72 hour period, we
 should not take this to mean that we can completely rearrange his port.

 I would like to scale back and make just a few precise changes to the
 portfile, for which I'm attaching patches:

  1. [attachment:apple-gcc42-ryandesign-livecheck.diff Change the
 livecheck] to more reliably tell us when the version is out of date.
  2. [attachment:apple-gcc42-ryandesign-5566.diff Update the version to
 5566] which seems to be the latest now.
  3. [attachment:apple-gcc42-ryandesign-cxx.diff Enable the C++ and
 Objective C++ languages].

 Do these meet your needs? I would be comfortable committing patches 1 and
 2. Patch 3 I'm not comfortable committing without input from the
 maintainer, because the portfile contains a note that enabling C++ causes
 the build to fail, which I was not able to reproduce. So I would first
 like to know under which circumstances or on what machines Marcus observed
 the build to fail with C++ before we go enabling it.
