Comment (by barracuda156):

 Replying to [comment:5 kencu]:
 > As you might see, if you would like fixes for 10.6 to build as ppc using
 rosetta added to macports, you most likely will need to be the one to
 contribute them.

 Thank you. Yes, I agree, that's the case. After you decided not to
 continue working on 10.6 PPC, I am the only one here to deal with it.

 > And then the port maintainer will see how it integrates into the
 existing port structure. If it is too onerous a fix, you might have to
 spin off your own repo (that is how TigerPorts came to be). If it is not
 too onerous, it will likely be included by most port maintainers.

 I will see examples in port files and try to amend my fixes in a way to
 make them acceptable (so that they are invoked only in case of 10.6 +
 ppc). I am not sure yet how to specify case of Rosetta, but in the worst
 case I think it is safe to assume that it will be either 10.6 PPC or
 10.6.8 Rosetta (and nothing in between), and then "OS minor" can be used
 to trigger Rosetta-specific fixes.

 > Some will not accept such a fix no matter what, however, as that adds to
 the maintenance burden and is of value to very very few people.

 By the way if I want to share some fixes for 10.6/10.6.8 on Github or
 Macrumors, how to do it appropriately? For one thing, all initial set up
 and major software fixes are yours. Secondly, I don't know if there are
 any formal requirements from Macports side.
 (In fact I was asked in that thread on Macrumors to write a tutorial how
 to make Macports work on 10.6 PPC and 10.6.8 Rosetta – essentially that
 would mean collect your guidelines, simplify them and add Xcode
 installation steps. I could do that, provided you don't object.)

 > But alternatively, ports that do build as ppc on 10.6 but not on 10.5
 might shed some light on how to fix 10.5, and most port maintainers are
 supportive still.

 If I find such cases, that will be great, as it may revive some interest
 in 10.6 PPC too.
