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.
