To conclude gperftools topic:
The following commit drops local rosetta patch, as well as another patch,
since both issues are fixed in upstream.
It also fixes a broken tests target and updates the port to 2.15.
So, to Ken’s claim re gperftools.
> And now there it sits in the ports tree, a useless MacPorts-only patch,
just waiting to break something.
To begin with, this is a false statement. The patch is NOT MacPorts-only
but backported from the upstream. Of course, Ken did not bother to take a
look.

It is quite a jump from one to hundreds. I stand by my statement: you
deliberately mislead everyone claiming that there are numerous 10a190-specific
hacks.
From memory I recall one merged fix which was not required on standard 10.6.8
but was on 10a190. There are perhaps a dozen which are not
I think you just don't realize the wreckage you've done.
Here is one of hundreds of your typical commits, although this is a simpler one
than most, to be honest.
The commit below has no purpose other than to allow the port to build as PPC on
10.6. And as that is really only of interest on

To begin with, it is not up to me to decide what Macports should or should

Just to be clear about my position on almost everything here:
I don't mind people
Here we go again.
1. To begin with, nobody is submitting 10A190-specific fixes to Macports.
They are sitting in my local repo. Please, do not mislead people who are
unaware of the matter.
2. Standard 10.6.8 release from Apple does support building and running ppc
binaries via Rosetta. Nothing
There is no hiccup in MacPorts support for PowerPC systems, despite the
dramatic title of the PR.
Also there is no hiccup in support for older released Apple operating systems.
10.4 and 10.5 remain fully supported by MacPorts (although 10.4 might be on
last legs).
There is also no need (IMHO)
