Comment (by kencu):

 Josh appears to have fixed the issue with cyrus-sasl2 not parsing properly
 on spoofed systems.

 I fixed the universal builds of all the boost versions.

 So progress is much further along now, but not all the way to kde yet.
 Some software (currently at least at-spi2-core) has moved on to meson for
 building, and now won't build universal because of issues with gobject-
 introspection being hosed when building universal.

 That may get fixed, or not, but at-spi2-core I think has been deprecated
 anyway and may not exist as a port upstream any more. Have to check on
 that.

 Anyway, progress, so your flagging your frustration with this got some
 folks moving. Squeaky wheel, all that. We'll probably eventually get kde
 building, but even then it will be kde4 unless someone really comes along
 and dives in to port the entirety of kde5 into MacPorts. I don't know if
 anyone will ever want to spend the time to do that, to be honest.

 I am still using my debian VM for that.
