 > Also, 8.3.129 is four years old. Maybe it would be nice to have a more
 current version of v8 in MacPorts. (We used to have a v8 port but
 [changeset:3ef45bcf4bfb54b9c1e9c74eb3b54c111e0095c5/macports-ports it was
 deleted] after being neglected.)

 Ryan, I made it versioned (and not just V8) on purpose, exactly so that
 there is no incentive to update it, but rather add whatever version one
 wants to as a separate port, like for llvm.
 Please leave 8.3 at what it is at the moment. Updating it is non-trivial,
 since quite of bit of stuff got broken further, and I am short on time, so
 this gets postponed.

 Adding 8-8.9 is desirable (without considering PowerPC, it can be
 restricted to x86_64 and arm64), but I could not build it on Sonoma. Need
 to check what was the issue. If it builds for you, you are very welcome to
 add the port for it.
