#50448: Change filenames of binary packages built against libc++ on < 10.9 --------------------------+-------------------------------- Reporter: mojca | Owner: macports-tickets@… Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: base | Version: 2.3.4 Resolution: | Keywords: Port: | --------------------------+-------------------------------- Comment (by RJVB): Well, yes, PPC is now sufficiently old almost to warrant forking MacPorts completely and trusting it to maintenance by the (dwindling number of?) users of such systems ... And to be honest, the same could almost be said for sufficiently old Intel OS versions like those that don't ship libc++ . I don't see the problem with non-default prefixes. Those have never had the benefit of using prebuilt packages, but as long as ports use `${prefix}` the way it's intended to be used there shouldn't be a problem building them regardless of the what C++ runtime is used, no?

But most other devs didn't like this idea at all, saying that we should not mix the extension/compression format with the rest.

For once I'm with "most other devs" ... Sounds way too delicate to get right. How for instance would you handle user set-ups that are configured to use xz for compressing software images built locally? -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/50448#comment:6> MacPorts <https://www.macports.org/> Ports system for macOS
