Priorities
I'm looking to clean up and modernize the guide at: markemer/macports-guide-adoc-dev
In addition I am working on an Xcode 1.1 portgroup that will build Workspace Projects, Run Cocoapods/SPM/etc, and deal with various signing nonsense
Because of the below, I'm also looking into a binaryonly portgroup for some systems, which is something I've been talking about for years.
If you find any of this interesting, please reach out.
Current Port Problems
- iTerm2, 3.5.4 will not build easily using our current methods, and while systems as far back as 10.15 are supported by the binary, you can only build on the latest a lot of the time.
- Io does not support arm64 upstream
- geda-gaf appears to be in a bit of a bad state upstream, with the website going down now and again
