Creating a new release is a bit problematic because it requires access to: * all the supported OS versions * payed developer account to sign the packages We cannot avoid the need to sign the packages (unless the server can do that automatically, but even then it might be a security concern), but we could use the existing infrastructure to compile the components of MacPorts on the target architecture and create the unsigned pkg/dmg files. Well, we would still need a virtual machine for Tiger and Leopard, but 6-7 ~~(or more if we also count the libc++-based builds)~~ could be catered for by the existing infrastructure.",enhancement,assigned,Normal,,buildbot/mpbb,,,buildbot,ryandesign raimue neverpanic,
