Comment (by kencu):

 Re: my TigerPorts repo....

 MacPorts has lots of ports, often maintained by different people, and lots
 of ideas how things should be done to satisfy the overall needs of the
 whole.

 When I update my Tiger machines, it's very common for there to be build
 errors -- it's Tiger after all. After all these years I can usually fix
 the issues quickly (it's often the same issues in different clothing) but
 then getting these fixes into MacPorts is a different story.

 So I hump them up into TigerPorts so I remember what I did, finish
 updating all my ports, and then, as time goes by, I look over what I have
 done and try to see what might be able to be sold as a fix into the main
 MacPorts repo. Those that I can sell, I do.

 There is often lots of pushback, for all kinds of reasons, sometimes
 technical, sometimes practical, and sometimes rather idiosyncratic and
 unpredictable. It's all good -- my fixes are there in TigerPorts for me
 and anyone who wants them, and what I can sell to MacPorts, I do.

 By now people more or less trust me not to break things, and if I put a
 little:
 {{{
 platform darwin 8 {
     my_Tiger_fixes
 }
 }}}
 down at the bottom of a Portfile, most nobody minds too much any more.
