I have old PowerPC machines that I use for this purpose. The problem is not
hardware; additional PowerPC machines can be acquired if they are useful to
anyone. The problem is getting developers (both upstream and within MacPorts)
to fix problems on these old systems.

I think this is the limiting factor here. As you said, these OS versions
are considered unsupported and we only fix bugs if anyone provides a
patch. That implies there is someone runni

As far as access to old hardware goes, I have an old PowerPC iMac G3
running 10.3.9 sitting in my basement gathering dust (which is too old
to even build base, so I am not sure why I even mentioned it...), and
an old white plastic MacBook running 10.5/i386, which I do not think I

Hi,
I was wondering if there was any chance/interest to set up a bunch of
computers with different architectures and OS versions installed (but
mainly setups like 10.4/PPC, 10.4/i386, 10.5/PPC, 10.6/x86_64) so that
a few trusted developers could have ssh access to those machines in
