#71751: libsdl2-powerpc @2.30.10: forces a runtime dependency on xorg-server-legacy
which is not supported on Tiger PPC
--------------------+-----------------------------
 Reporter:  kencu   |      Owner:  barracuda156
     Type:  defect  |     Status:  assigned
 Priority:  Normal  |  Milestone:
Component:  ports   |    Version:
 Keywords:          |       Port:  libsdl2-powerpc
--------------------+-----------------------------
 the libsdl2-powerpc  port contains this block, forcing {{{xorg-server-
 legacy}}} on powerpc systems:

 {{{
 #!tcl
 # xorg-server does not build presently on any PowerPC macOS.
 depends_run-append  port:xorg-server-legacy
 }}}

 However, {{{xorg-server-legacy}}} does not presently build on MacOSX Tiger
 PPC. This prevents the installation of several ports on Tiger PPC,
 including codeblocks-devel and others.

 Tiger PPC is a supported MacPorts installation.

 On Tiger, {{{xorg-server-1.18}}} is the currently building Xserver.

 MacPorts has previously set a policy of not forcing the use of any Xserver
 in a Portfile.

 If this runtime dependency is to be kept, it should at least by a file-
 type dependency to allow {{{xorg-server-1.18}}} to satisfy the dependency.
