 Priority:  Low                |  Milestone:  MacPorts Future
Component:  ports              |    Version:  2.3.2
 Keywords:  iTerm2             |       Port:  iTerm2
-------------------------------+--------------------------------
 Once the Portfile is edited to allow it, iTerm2 builds and works fine on
 10.6 Snow Leopard. I've been using v1.0 without issue on 10.6 for some
 time, and I just completed building v2.0, which, as far as I can tell with
 monkeying with it over the last few hours, works just fine. Its good
 software.

 Why not allow it to build on 10.6? You can always print a note that
 "WARNING: iTerm2 is not officially supported on 10.6!" without preventing
 it from building with a system version check in the Portfile causing the
 build to fail for some vague arbitrary reason (no soup for you, 10.6
 users!).

 If there is a good reason for preventing the build in 10.6, I'd like to
 hear it.
 Because 10.6 needs iTerm2

 Thank you.

 Best,
 Chilli
