Jun 1, 2025June 2025 monthly summary for macports/macports-ports focused on maintenance hardening and build-stability improvements. Key work centered on restoring buildability for ports by updating sources to archived locations (rmtrash and pidof), adjusting distfiles, and gating automated checks where appropriate. In parallel, build reliability was enhanced by explicitly adding gettext for libhsts autopoint and refining the gunits compiler blacklist to skip clang versions before 802, improving compatibility with C11 macros. These changes collectively reduce port failures, improve reproducibility, and streamline ongoing maintenance with clearer provenance and dependencies.
