Changes since 2.5.4:
-
The default cxx_stdlib for 10.6-10.8 is now libc++. It is
recommended that users on these OS versions run rev-upgrade to
rebuild any ports using libstdc++. (jmr in 6b7846a) -
Extend the touch command to take a -W directory parameter.
(#53730, khindenburg in a90c4b2) -
Added fetch.user_agent option to allow working around servers
that don't like our default User-Agent string.
(slewsys in e5a420c) -
Enabled sending custom headers in livecheck. (jonesc in 84f97ca)
-
Improved explanatory message when a port cannot be built with
+universal on macOS 10.14. (#57245, jmr in 918c347) -
Overhauled compiler selection logic. Ports can now specify that
they require a particular C or C++ standard (e.g. C++11),
Fortran, OpenMP, MPI, or TLS, and a suitable compiler will be
chosen based on all these criteria. (mcalhoun in 5e17a69) -
Rewrote handling of *.env options. This should fix cases where
environment variables were not being set because the old code
silently failed to parse something and skipped all remaining
variables in the list. This change requires different quoting in
some cases: each list element now needs to contain a single
assignment (like VAR=value). (jmr in 9313be5) -
'port info' with multiple field options now outputs the fields
in the order they were given. (#57003, khindenburg in e115b59) -
Added 'bump' action to assist in updating ports to new upstream
versions. (satraul in 9c91a29) -
Added use_xcode option which indicates that a port requires a
full Xcode installation to build (as opposed to just the Command
Line Tools). This should allow MacPorts to only complain about
Xcode not being installed when it's really needed.
(#58016, satraul in 057ce2b) -
Allow using the 'macosx' SDK when the SDK for the current OS
version is not present. This comes with its own problems, but
it's better than not being able to build anything.
