Comment (by ryandesign):
That commit also triggered 30-odd ports to be built on 10.12 x86_64 which
are failing too:
https://build.macports.org/builders/ports-10.12_x86_64-watcher/builds/51477
And the problem doesn't only occur when a change is committed to these
ports. It also occurs any time a change is committed to any port that
eventually depends on these ports.
You can see from e.g. https://ports.macports.org/port/qt55-qtbase-
docs/builds/ how we keep failing to build these ports over and over.
There have been complaints from MacPorts users that ports are taking to
long to build on their systems, which we must translate to: we didn't have
the binaries available quickly enough, which is in part because we were
spending time attempting builds that were already destined to fail. There
are hardware upgrades to the build system that we could contemplate, but
whatever build server resources we have I think it's important that we
don't waste them.
