 Replying to [comment:6 mrkapqa]:
 > i was under the impression that macports does only allow the last
 succesful build for each iteration os macos to be compiled, even when
 upgrading the ports.

 Ah, if only it were that easy.

 > tried also on a recently new installed leopard 10.5 macbook pro 32bit to
 build mpv , and also there it failed.

 Not a surprise. I have no idea about the 10.7 to 10.9 crowd. The buildbots
 are not looking too friendly to older versions.

 > if there is a command to limit mpv to version 0.26 i would like to use
 it.

 The `mpv` portfile is already very complex -- adding in a peg for `0.26.0`
 is doable, but mind-melting.

 I think we will probably see an `mpv-legacy` port someday, with an older
 version updated less frequently that works on older systems.

 For right now today, you're a bit stuck. My best suggestion is to read
 this <https://guide.macports.org/chunked/development.local-
 repositories.html>, and set up a local repository for yourself, possibly
 using mine <https://github.com/kencu/SnowLeopardPorts> as a starting
 point.
