 libvpx has released a new version:

 devel/Vt6c2Z96cWI/aTYeP5y6BwAJ

 https://chromium.googlesource.com/webm/libvpx/+archive/v1.6.1.tar.gz

 Although PPC support was removed in v1.5.0, using --target=generic-gnu a
 C-only build can be created. Since versions before v1.5.0 didn't have any
 optimizations for PPC, it wouldn't represent a performance regression. I
 don't know how useful that library would be to people though.

 The configure script in macports was massively simplified for the last
 update:

 ports/blob/master/multimedia/libvpx/files/patch-build-make-
 configure.sh.diff

 Are the -mmacosx-version-min/max flags no longer useful? We'd be happy to
 take that patch upstream if that is the case.

 The port warns against support for 10.5:

 ports/commit/026309f6708aa8ea7846b44b450c1484dac9e0ed#diff-

 Is this because of an outdated compiler? Otherwise I'm not aware of any
 reason the library would not run on 10.5. Similar to PPC, --target
 =generic-gnu could provide a workaround but it would still be very slow.
