Jan 1, 2026January 2026 — macports/macports-ports: Delivered comprehensive dependency modernization across tooling, runtimes, and cloud components to strengthen build reliability, security, and release velocity. Key deliveries include batch-based upgrades for 20+ tools and libraries (examples: act updated to 0.2.84; hk updated to 1.28.0 with submodule fetch changes; staticcheck updated; gh, deno, rust updates; and many others), introduction of a Helm 4.1 subport, and stability improvements via ned rollback to 1.3.3. Terraform and cloud tooling were modernized (terraform-1.14.x to 1.14.4; tfupdate 0.9.3; tailscale 1.94.1; aws-nuke 3.63.3). Core runtimes and toolchains were upgraded (Go 1.25.6; gh 2.85.0; deno 2.6.5; rust 1.93.0; helm-3/4 updates), improving security and release velocity. Result: smoother builds, reduced drift, and stronger security posture across the port ecosystem.
