I opened ​https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MESOS-9752 to mesos upstream over this. Something changed with the MacPorts cyrus-sasl package and it now reports duplicates of each SASL plugin, which violates some assumptions made in the ./configure script.

There have been no comments on the upstream ticket. However this error went away during the update to 1.8.0 [8347716401/macports-ports], and the port is currently known to build on 10.6 and later as of [46f85ab877/macports-ports].

We still see this problem on the build servers, e.g. ​https://build.macports.org/builders/ports-11_x86_64-builder/builds/8626/steps/install-port/logs/stdio

Taking a shot at this again with the latest upstream mesos. Right now it's not building with latest autotools - not insurmountable, but not promising. The upstream project is all but dead and personally I'm not using this for work anymore. Is anyone opposed to deprecating the port and removing it later? I really don't see a future for the port or for mesos.
