 It would be nice if there is such a fallback mechanism , eg. that in case
 of failed build it would ask to build the last known succesful version or
 something similar (maybe i am too easy here altogether)

 I still have a working similar version running on my Lion 10.7.5

 port -v installed mpv
 Warning: port definitions are more than two weeks old, consider updating
 them by running 'port selfupdate'.
 The following ports are currently installed:
   mpv
 @0.26.0_7+audiocd+bundle+dvd+libarchive+network+opengl+osd+python27+rubberband+x11
 platform='darwin 11' archs='x86_64' date='2018-03-29T13:21:07+0200'
   mpv
 @0.26.0_8+audiocd+bundle+dvd+libarchive+network+opengl+osd+python27+rubberband+x11
 (active) platform='darwin 11'


 now that i learned bit better i will think twice before runninng "port
 selfupdate" :)

 this <https://guide.macports.org/chunked/development.local-

 using mine <https://github.com/kencu/SnowLeopardPorts> as a starting
 point.

 thank you , i hope to contribute in some way or another, as i really like
 snow leopard very much.
