Comment (by artkiver):
Thanks for bringing this to my attention!
At the moment, I don't think I have easy access to any 32bit systems (I
swapped out a core solo with a core 2 duo in a Mac Mini long ago, which
stopped functioning sometime after a Mountain Lion OS X Server beta if I
recall correctly and the other 32bit MacBook I had I think I gave to my
daughter, who's mom/my ex-wife destroyed it some years ago too. I do have
some G4 PowerBooks in storage, but I don't make it to my storage unit very
frequently).
Regarding the resurrection of https://trac.macports.org/ticket/67883 do
you think the previous hint of
https://github.com/att/ast/commit/f85990193bfc14bb88924511ec2d93ad78d536c3
may be applicable?
tbh, I don't really make much use of RPKI personally. I am not running BGP
anywhere (I did in the past, when paid to, but no one is paying me to
administer their networks and routing infrastructure at the moment) and I
mostly took over maintainership because I saw that the Portfile had lapsed
some time behind upstream and I tend to focus a lot on OpenBSD
development, so figured it wasn't a lot of extra effort to keep
downstreaming related things, particularly since someone had previously
created a MacPort.
In contrast, I have for example, completely avoided creating a MacPort for
OpenBGPD, not just because I have no infrastructure with which to test it
currently, or the fact that I never managed to build it from source
cleanly on macOS; but as someone who has run routing infrastructure at
for-profit companies, macOS seems ill suited to routing protocols, given
that without assiduous use of /usr/bin/caffeinate macOS sleeps due to
power saving design constraints, which are kind of the opposite of 24x7
paradigms consistent with routing protocols.
So, the TL;DR is: I am probably not too well equipped to attempt to fix or
even test such fixes at the moment. ;-/
That may change in the future! Hopefully. Not too long ago, someone
suggested I apply for a commit bit, but I told them I was attempting to
establish a boundary to not take on more responsibilities until I have a
home again (I am homeless) but given that I was previously sleeping in my
car, and my car was considered a "total loss" by my insurance company in
April of last year, and I have not yet acquired a new vehicle? I seem to
be going kind of the opposite direction of not being homeless, so for the
time being I am really not taking on more responsibilities so much as
doing what little I can to help out on occasion, as best I am able, which
is clearly: insufficient for supporting rpki-client on 32bit OS X systems
in 2026 at present.
My sincere apologies.
