It doesn't prevent that in the case of the linux servers that populate the database that powers our web site.

Take for example my Quicksilver port, which contains:

PortGroup               compiler_blacklist_versions 1.0

and:

compiler.blacklist      *gcc* macports-clang-2.9 macports-clang-3.0 {clang < 421}

And yet it shows up fine on the web site:

https://www.macports.org/ports.php?by=name&substr=Quicksilver

The compiler_blacklist_versions portgroup works by modifying compiler.blacklist the moment it's set. If the compiler specified in the blacklist entry exists on disk, it is invoked to determine its version number; if it does not exist on disk, that blacklist entry is skipped.

I guess, therefore, that our linux servers that run MacPorts for the web site do not have /usr/bin/clang installed, and that they did have it installed, that would be a problem.

We could modify the compiler_blacklist_versions portgroup to do nothing on non-OS X systems.
