👋 Do you use @macports to install PHP on macOS? Can you help us at @phpunit and let us know which extensions are installed by default when you install PHP 8.1 with @macports on macOS, please? ↓ github.com/sebastianbergm…

@karamalaskar Unfortunately, valgrind upstream does not support macOS 13 Ventura. The port is a bit outdated, but even the latest valgrind 3.20 officially only supports macOS 10.12, with preliminary support for 10.13. /rm

People wanting to use Macports on MacOS Ventura, the required Xcode version (14.1) has finally been dropped in the AppStore and is no longer an apple developer release candidate download

MacPorts 2.8.0 has been released! If you already have it installed, please run 'sudo port selfupdate'. For new installations, package installers are available for download. /rm lists.macports.org/pipermail/macp…

MacPorts 2.7.2 has been released! Installers for macOS 12 Monterey and older releases back to Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger are available from the website. If you already have MacPorts installed, run 'sudo port selfupdate'. /rm github.com/macports/macpo…

@jsumners79 Prebuilt binary archives are only available when the license of the software itself and of all dependencies allows redistribution. In case of ImageMagick, it cannot be distributed because its dependency libpaper is GPL-2.0-only and that conflicts with Apache-2.0. /rm

I started installing ImageMagick two hours ago. @macports is still compiling things. What happened to the prebuilt packages? I'm still on 10.15. Surely there's been enough time to build stuff for that

@julxrp Yes, of course. Support for arm64 was released with MacPorts 2.6.4 in November so it was ready from the start for M1. There might still be ports that do not yet build for this architecture, but you can check on ports.macports.org. /rm

@macports would Macports work on a Apple computer with the M1 chip?

@ednl That could best be answered by its maintainer. Check the open tickets for the port here: ports.macports.org/port/py-ipyker… As there is no update request yet, please file a new ticket in Trac to update the port.

MacPorts 2.7.0 has been released! Installers for macOS 11 Big Sur and older releases back to Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger are available from the website. If you already have MacPorts installed, run 'sudo port selfupdate'. /rm macports.org/post/macports-…

@SimonPerdrisat Here is the old announcement, but a lot of the previous discussion was between the port managers and infrastructure team. lists.macports.org/pipermail/macp… We have trac-github for integrating both for auth and also for auto-referencing/-closing tickets with commits. /rm

@SimonPerdrisat We discussed this a lot in 2016 with the move to GitHub, but GitHub issues were just not sufficient. Most notably in Trac we have custom fields for the affected ports, but GitHub can only search in full text. /rm

@yukkuriyankey @encthenet @brouhaha @TuringNeil @sybreon @misosusanowa @dvdfreitag @Cy_Schubert @golang @freebsd @mixxxdj @FFmpeg ffmpeg for arm64 is blocked by libvpx, which had some assumptions in the build system that ARM and Darwin means iOS. But there is progress, github.com/macports/macpo… /rm

@encthenet @brouhaha @TuringNeil @sybreon @misosusanowa @dvdfreitag @Cy_Schubert Yep, modifying the Makefile for @golang on @freebsd to support aarch64 on a Raspberry Pi 3? Piece of cake. Doing the same for @mixxxdj? Seemed like more effort. Meanwhile @FFmpeg for ARM in @macports still seems as if it's an open bug request.

Do laptops made in recent history (e.g. 2018 Dell Precision) have better Li-ion or Li-poly battery management than those made in 2008? If I leave the 2018 laptop powered 24*7, will it destroy the battery and cause it to physically expand, like my 2008 MacBook did?

@yukkuriyankey @FFmpeg Indeed, there is already an open ticket: trac.macports.org/ticket/61668 /rm

My first arm64 M1 silicon Mac issue found! I am guessing @macports may already be aware of this issue though, @FFmpeg is pretty widely used.

@jowe__19 Pallet is unfortunately unmaintained and nobody stepped up to take it over. There are some alternatives listed here: #gui" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">trac.macports.org/wiki/FAQ#gui /rm

@macports Hello. Is there any software (with user interface) for managing Macports ? Pallet no longer seems to be maintained (trac.macports.org/wiki/MacPortsG…)

Scheduled maintenance for our server is done. Mailing Lists, Trac, the PR bot for GitHub and the ports webapp are available again. Please let us know if you see any problems. /cl

There is a scheduled maintenance for our server happening right now. Mailing Lists, Trac, the PR bot for GitHub, and the ports webapp will be unavailable for the next hours.

Please see this post on the macports-users mailing list for possible workarounds: lists.macports.org/pipermail/macp… /rm

Our main mirror sponsor for rsync and packages currently has hardware problems and can be unreliable. 'port selfupdate' may not work as expected at the moment. Sorry for the inconvenience. /rm
