I've seen this page recently and was thinking about someone willing to check this page + check the installation and configuration of the buildbot software, so that we could play with it during the meeting (hopefully we will manage to find some older/spare MacPro somewhere to test it on). >> I think interest in PowerPC systems is truly very low at this time. > > These machines no longer run a version of Mac OS X that receives security > updates from Apple - True. But for the few that do have them, even if just for fun, having a working MacPorts available is almost the only way to get decent and recent software running on them. And you should not entirely ignore the "coolness" factor of them and the joy that some developers have while fixing problems for those legacy machines. > and don’t run one of the 2 major OS releases we support per policy (current, > previous). Despite this being the official policy some time ago, I don't think that anyone takes this 100% seriously and/or closes the tickets for build problems on < 10.10 as invalid, particularly now that Apple switched to one-year release cycles. On the contrary the latest OS is usually the "most broken one" (and without binary packages), sometimes for months after the release.
