 that's really more about compiler version, like in so many other projects,
 which wouldn't apply in MacPorts since we have newer compilers on older
 systems.

 Thats not usually the case for wine at least.

 It does matter as that’s the lowest version that upstream tests against on
 a regular basis as there’s no usable data from macports buildbots for
 modern wine.

 recall.

 True.

 only a newer compiler or also support from OS libraries.

 Usually it more falls on macOS as when I was testing on legacy versions of
 macOS I was using macports latest compiler.

 > I suppose it has been so many years since I last looked into wine that I
 have essentially no idea about anything wine-related anymore you should
 just take these ports over. I haven't maintained them well these past
 years.

 I’ll get everything in place nicely before making some related PRs then.

 > Wine themselves recommend installing with Homebrew, which has Wine 9.0:
 https://wiki.winehq.org/MacOS

 Yes I recommend installing via brews cask system, the actual packages are
 currently hosted at https://github.com/Gcenx/macOS_Wine_builds. You will
 need to install the latest gstreamer pkg release.

 the two systems don't play well together.

 Thats definitely not something I’d recommend an average user attempt.

 Replying to [comment:16 szhorvat]:
 > For this reason it would be very useful to update Wine within MacPorts.

 Honestly updating them will be a nightmare as someone will complain about
 there macOS version being dropped. I can realistically support 10.15.4 and
 later. The only thing I can offer below 10.15 is being locked to an older
 version of wine where 6.0.4 will be the oldest.
