Thank you to Anton for clarifying the development roadmap. Craig: I do not want to upset your existing work, on which I rely to build the development versions.
In my experience, linux distributions and MacPorts tend to track version (0.7.3_3). My idea is to facilitate tracking the development snapshots, so that new features can be tried. I recognise that there are flatpak and snap distributions for Fedora, Ubuntu and homebrew for the Mac, so I wondered what it would take to create a portfile. Crucial to that idea is being able to build the latest tarball, so I recorded my experiences. Is everyone happy for me to continue on this path for the moment? (I have a lot to learn about how MacPorts works and whether building on a client machine is a viable approach, so I am uncertain as how this idea will turn out.)
