When I updated the install page for Sierra, I left Mavericks on the list, because that's good cut-off point, with Mavericks being the first OS X version to use libc++ by default. I concur with keeping more Mac operating system releases "supported" by MacPorts, given Apple's increased frequency of releases (i.e. yearly), vs. every two or three years as in the beforetime. _______________________________________________ macports-dev mailing list macports-dev@lists.macosforge.org https://lists.macosforge.org/mailman/listinfo/macports-dev
