The latest legacy-support-devel (v20250530) is a release candidate for the new version, so it would be useful to get some broader testing. The most significant changes are the complete rewrite of all the clock functions for better speed, accuracy, and compatibility.
Since there are some cases where the architecture is relevant, and my G5 is inoperative, it would be useful if someone could test on a G5, preferably running 10.5. That's just a matter of running "port test legacy-support-devel" while targeting ppc64 as the architecture. Since build_arch is usually set to ppc rather than ppc64 on a G5 (for good reason), this would require either overriding build_arch on the command line or testing +universal (provided that universal_archs includes ppc64). Since the latter is also unlikely, the first approach is probably the most convenient.
An example of doing this on a G4, with the expected obvious failure, is: MacMini:~ fw$ sudo port test legacy-support-devel build_arch=ppc64 ---> Fetching distfiles for legacy-support-devel ---> Verifying checksums for legacy-support-devel ---> Extracting legacy-support-devel ---> Configuring legacy-support-devel ---> Building legacy-support-devel ---> Staging legacy-support-devel into destroot ---> Testing legacy-support-devel Error: Failed to test legacy-support-devel: command execution failed [...] On a G5 the above should work, and take under a minute.
