Whoops, didn't realize that it had only just been made available in the not yet
released MacPorts 2.7.0 for Portfiles to use. Fixed:

That's unrelated.
We don't make binaries for 10.5 right now. We used to make binaries for 10.5
ppc but the Power Mac's power supply died and I haven't gotten the replacement
Power Mac online yet to take over.
The 10.8 and 10.12 buildbot workers were offline for a time because the SSDs
they were stored on died. They're back up and running using hard disks for now
but there is a large backlog of builds.
