#72527: m4 1.4.20 no longer needs patch for 10.4 Tiger
----------------------+--------------------
Reporter: hart-NTP | Owner: (none)
Type: defect | Status: new
Priority: Normal | Milestone:
Component: ports | Version: 2.10.7
Keywords: | Port: m4
----------------------+--------------------
Trying to install m4 via MacPorts on an ancient OS X 10.4.4 Tiger system
results in the sole patch in the port, specifically for Tiger and older,
failing to apply. It turns out this is because m4 now has the right code
for Tiger and earlier builds already in place.
I tested by creating a local ports repo and copying the m4 Portfile there,
then eliminating the reference to the patch. I now have a working m4 and
can get on with using the many ports that indirectly depend upon it.
