Description (last modified by kencu (Ken))
The icu Portfile says to not update it due to c++11 needs.
The current version as of today is 63.1, ours is at 58.2
I came across one of my ports that can’t be updated any further due to the version of icu being too old.
I suppose soon we’re going to need to bite the bullet and push icu forward.

Ah, somehow I had forgot about that PR. Thanks.
(Aside: I searched for any tickets against ICU before posting this, but of course the PRs don't show up. I find the PR queue hard to search. One of the downsides of having discussions in two different systems. )

Here's a patch that accomplished most of the work. Still to do is blacklist gcc versions less than 7 (as there is a math error on older systems with all gcc versions prior to 7 wherein all the std::math functions are excluded). Also, need to sort out what to do about universal builds as gcc can't build cross arch universal with the current MacPorts infrastructure.

Add to the above that there seems to be no gcc at present that can build icu on 10.4 Intel.

This issue is blocking upgrading Qt 5 to 5.13 (1).
How about making libxml2-bootstrap independent of ICU as shown in my patch (2)? I didn't test it as building it requires libstdc++, which is missing from new systems.

Why couldn't icu-bootstrap be left at the older version?

Replying to jmroot:

That sounds a better solution!
The only potential issue out of my head is that a future libxml2 version might not be compatible with old icu. Though I bet it will not occur in a few years.
