The Trac roadmap is actually a pretty good indicator. Some of the stuff in the 1.8.0 milestone could (and probably should) be pushed later, of course. The only essentials as I see it are Snow Leopard support and a handful of regressions. > I believe there was a change which now prevents explicitly selecting > automatic variants, which was going to be a problem for the fetch code > the distfiles mirror runs to make sure it fetches the distfiles > necessary for every variant. Can that be fixed somehow? Yeah, this is one of the essential regressions. > I know the GSoC '08 privilege escalation stuff was merged in awhile ago, > and I saw Josh commit some follow-ups recently. Is that all working now? Seems OK, though I haven't tested extensively. I'd be happier defaulting macportsuser to root for this release. Probably needs testing with non-root-owned installs too. I recall you have a ticket open regarding a permissions error with this configuration (awaiting further feedback and/or testing). > Do we know of anything broken in trunk at the moment? Distcheck is the other regression that springs to mind. > How are we with Snow Leopard support? Anything still outstanding?

Probably passing a -arch (or -m32/64) flag all the time, and making that default arch configurable. > There was a comment that the default universal_archs should be changed > from "ppc i386" to "i386 x86_64".

It's not like 10.6 can't build for ppc, but sure, why not. - Josh _______________________________________________ macports-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.macosforge.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/macports-dev
