Comment (by kencu):
Because darwinbuild has NEVER WORKED in the 10 years I have been involved
with MacPorts, ever, at all -- and who knows when (or if) it ever worked
before that -- we don't want push more broken junk to the main MacPorts
tree.
If you would like to start a working group to see if darwinbuild of any
ilk might someday be resurrected, that sounds fine -- people can work away
on it.
But please only bring something back to macports if it actually really
does work on at least a few machines supported by macports.
There are a number of ports currently in the tree that have been added
over the past year or two that are just junk, and although they may be of
interest to a couple of folks, the main macports repo is no place for
them.
libdispatch-legacy, xdarwintools, libcxx-powerpc, and others --- mostly-
non-working, unmaintained noise.
