Description (last modified by ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt))
Postgis2 has variants of form +postgresql96 to target the installed PostGIS extension to the desired version of PostgreSQL. Mac Ports offers versions of PostgreSQL from 9.0 to 9.6.
Postgis2, Commit 03c7f22, Oct 25, 2016, removed the variants postgresql93 and postgresql94 because the are "obsolete PGsql versions". I don't see a comment in the commit or in a ticket that the current version of PostGIS2 does not work with these versions of PostGreSQL, just that they are obsolete.
It turns out I'm working on a project now which uses PostgreSQL 9.4 as its primary version. They are only beginning to experiment with PostgreSQL 9.6. Thus I'd suggest that 9.4 is not yet "obsolete" for this shop. Even 9.3 may be in use somewhere.
I'd like to suggest that the postgresql94 variant be restored. I'd even suggest restoring postgresql93, though that isn't so important for my current need.
Workaround: follow the instructions in the MacPorts HOWTO "Installing Older Port" to build commit 21a176a, and install that with sudo port install +postgresql94 +raster +topology.
