Sorry for the trouble. Of course we want your experience with MacPorts to be trouble-free, but we cannot guarantee that it will be, and problems do occur from time to time. When they do, please submit a bug report in the issue tracker. Yes, everyone tests their changes before committing. But they probably only test on their own system. It may be that a build fails only on certain versions of OS X, or certain versions of Xcode, or only when certain other ports were already installed. There are countless possible reasons for a build failure. In each case, we must diagnose the issue and fix it. There is no "stable" release of MacPorts. Everything is provided as-is and best-effort. We are all volunteers, not being paid to work on this. _______________________________________________ macports-users mailing list macports-users@lists.macosforge.org https://lists.macosforge.org/mailman/listinfo/macports-users
