Hi, I’m using MacPorts for many years, but I’m new on this list.

A few days ago I was building SCM Workbench[1] on MacPorts Python 3.7 (because 
the binary package was expecting python.org Frameworks to be installed). The 
project uses dmgbuild[2], and there were ports for all(?) versions of Python.

py37-dmgbuild didn’t work, because the port used an old state of dmgbuild that 
was Py2 only, but py27-dmgbuild did the job.

Today I wanted to document the process – and the ports were gone!

I looked for "dmgbuild" in all mailing list, tracker and github commit messages 
and found only:

* https://trac.macports.org/attachment/ticket/56662/main.log (dmgbuild used as 
an external tool)
* https://trac.macports.org/attachment/ticket/59137/vlc_build_log_clang8.log 
(dmgbuild not found)

(I used Google with "site:" as well as site searches.)

Does anyone know why these ports were removed (instead of updated maybe) or how 
I could find out more?

Best regards, Hraban
