Another example is apple-gcc. Tree has apple-gcc33 build 1819, and apple-gcc40 build 5363, while latest Tiger 10.4.10 has build 5367. Should they be updated? Or even apple-gcc33 be removed?
Apple has not released the source code for Mac OS X 10.4.10 or Xcode 2.4.1 (only 10.4.9 and 2.4.0), so gcc-5363 is the latest.
gcc-3.3 is needed for Panther, which is still supported AFAIK... (although that might change next week or something, with Leopard)
Thanks for your explanation. I used wrong package as example. I dont suggest to remove apple-gcc in fact. I mean to clean up packages like tin-devel, which is definitely outdated. Another example is emacs-devel 22.0.97. With Emacs 22.1 released this package is outdated and may confuse users of macports.
