Comment (by RJVB):
Well, yes, PPC is now sufficiently old almost to warrant forking MacPorts
completely and trusting it to maintenance by the (dwindling number of?)
users of such systems ...
And to be honest, the same could almost be said for sufficiently old Intel
OS versions like those that don't ship libc++ .
I don't see the problem with non-default prefixes. Those have never had
the benefit of using prebuilt packages, but as long as ports use
`${prefix}` the way it's intended to be used there shouldn't be a problem
building them regardless of the what C++ runtime is used, no?
> But most other devs didn't like this idea at all, saying that we should
not mix the extension/compression format with the rest.
For once I'm with "most other devs" ... Sounds way too delicate to get
right. How for instance would you handle user set-ups that are configured
to use xz for compressing software images built locally?
