> 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.
OK. It is time for this kind of crippling hold-back of progress to support
ancient hobby systems to stop.
Move wine and all it's dependencies up to current versions, and if that
breaks the dinosaurs along the way, so be it.
I of course have been a proponent of keeping these older systems going,
but never at the expense of progress for current systems. I have worked
over the years to help keep the compilers and toolchains on older systems
current so they won't need special considerations to build. I invented
"legacysupport" and worked to bring it up to speed for the same reason --
so that people would not need to even be aware of the older system.
But there was never an intention to hold back or artificially cripple
progress on newer systems to support these dinos.
Move wine along. MacPorts is too good of a build system for it to be
dumped into the dustbin because support for ancient systems couldn't be
maintained reliably.
