#29466: MacPorts should let ports indicate OS version compatibility ---------------------------------+------------------------------------------ Reporter: rudloff@… | Owner: macports-tickets@… Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: MacPorts Future Component: base | Version: 1.9.2 Keywords: | Port: ---------------------------------+------------------------------------------ Changes (by ryandesign@…): * cc: ryandesign@… (added) * milestone: => MacPorts Future Comment: Indeed it would be nice if ports could indicate something like this, rather than having to add blocks of code like we currently do (which has the deficiency you point out, that dependencies are still built first). But it would be better to assume that a port will work with any Mac OS X version, and let the port specify OS versions with which it is ''not'' compatible. We don't have the manpower to test every single port on a new OS release, so we should just assume it will work, and if we discover that it does not, ''then'' we can mark the port as being incompatible. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/29466#comment:1> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
