MacVim now requires Snow Leopard (10.6)

[disjointed.time@…]

The MacVim port now requires Snow Leopard; when I try to upgrade outdated ports I encounter an error on Leopard.

Please update its platform variant version to 'darwin 10'.

Not according to the MacVim homepage as this supplies both Leopard and Tiger builds, what error are you getting? Attach a build log.

Log attached.

And here's what I see from the command line:

Ahh, then the port is behaving correctly. It's seeing that you don't have SL and then exiting as it should.

[disjointed.time@…]

Oh, okay. I thought there might have been a way of continuing to offer the older build on Leopard (so that it doesn't show up as an upgradeable port).

[jmroot (Joshua Root)]

It would be possible to make a separate port for the older version, and even mark MacVim as replaced_by the other port on older OS versions.

[disjointed.time@…]

That sounds perfect.

Cc Me!

Hey guys, same problem for me. If it were possible to create the alternative port for Leopard users, it'd be awesome!

Sorry, but I will not do the support for the older versions of OS X. If anyone else still uses Snow Leopard or Leopard, feel free to provide Portfiles.
