Re: port install of xemacs fails due to failure to install Xaw3d

[Kenneth Wolcott]

Hi Ryan;

  I get a different error now when trying to install xemacs:

*** PANIC *** Configure tests are not working - compiler is broken.
*** PANIC *** Please examine config.log for compilation errors.

Thanks,
Ken

Re: gv apparently silently fails to install properly

[Kenneth Wolcott]

Hi Ryan;

  Thank you for the link to the bug report.

  I just a selfupdate  earlier (after the announcement of a new port
version) and upgraded, then I removed gv and reinstalled (via source)
and I get the same error message. I didn't expect any changes since I
did not see any gv update, just a data point, hope that's useful.

Thanks,
Ken

Failure to extract in trace mode on Ventura is:

Workaround: don't use trace mode

The log shows this was on Ventura, so this bug is:

Workaround: don't use trace mode.

The Portfile was deliberately programmed to do something different on macOS 
10.x than on macOS 11 and later. Based on the build failures, that appears to 
have been the wrong thing to do, and the Portfile has since been changed to no 
longer do that.

Most MacPorts contributors test on the latest or at least a recent macOS 
version. Most software developers also upgrade their systems to the latest or 
recent versions. Thus, as time goes on and ports are updated to new versions, 
it becomes increasingly likely that some change is introduced in some OS 
version and that some software starts depending on that change, and that users 
who remain on old OS versions are more likely to experience problems as a 
result. Whenever you find a problem, report it and hopefully someone can figure 
out how to fix it.

MacPorts 2.8.1 has been released

[Joshua Root]

The MacPorts Project is pleased to announce the release of version
2.8.1. This is a bugfix release with small changes only. See the
ChangeLog [1] for the list of changes.

If you already have MacPorts installed, the preferred method for
updating is to run:

   sudo port selfupdate

For new installs, there are also package installers available for macOS
versions ranging from macOS 13 Ventura all the way back to 10.4 at [2]. 
The source is also available as tarballs compressed with gzip or bzip2, 
or from the git tag [3].


Detached PGP signatures for the disk images, packages and source
tarballs have been made with my key, which is available on the
keyservers and my MacPorts wiki page [4], the fingerprint being:

0x01FF673FB4AAE6CD: C403 7936 5723 6DCF 2E58  0C02 01FF 673F B4AA E6CD
