Comment (by marcel@…):

 I'm currently considering dropping the use of MacPorts as this projects'
 track record regarding critical updates of major software tools is rather
 underwhelming.Furthermore,  I'm asking myself what use it is to be a port
 maintainer when updates are not included in a timely manner. This ticket
 is six weeks old. Node.js 4.5.0 was released on 16-Aug-2016. If time and
 manpower is the problem, wouldn't it be better to move to a GitHub-based
 approach like Homebrew does? I like MacPorts' clean implementation far
 more than Homebrew does. But if I still cannot install for example
 {{{pandoc}}} because {{{ghc}}} still requires {{{llwm-3.5}}} which does
 not compile on Sierra: what good is a package manager that does not work
 reliably on the current platform it's designed for to work on?

 I'd really like to hear from several sides about the why's and how's. I'm
 not sure where to ask this question as to get the broadest possible input.
 On GitHub I'd just open an issue. Should I do the same here?
