lang/q outdated

[macports@…]

The version currently in the 1.5 release doesn't build. It's also rather stale. I don't know much about ports, but went ahead and edited my Portfile in the obvious way, and the current version builds fine.

I agree, q 6.0 doesn't build for me either:

q 7.9 is now available. 7.8 "is a recommended upgrade for anyone who is currently running Q 7.7" and "sports several important bugfixes". 7.9 "is a bugfix release". I will attempt to update the port.

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

Q 7.7, 7.8 and 7.9 all fail to build for me. I've ​asked their mailing list for help, since I can't find an active bug tracker for them.

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

They've released 7.9-2 which now builds! Committed the update in r32080.
