The MacPorts Project is happy to announce that the 2.6.0 version has now been released. It is available via the usual methods: selfupdate if you already have MacPorts installed package installers for 10.14, 10.13, 10.12, 10.11, 10.10, 10.9, 10.8 ... [More] , 10.7, 10.6, 10.5 and 10.4 (universal i386/ppc for 10.5 and 10.4, i386/x86_64 for 10.6, and the rest x86_64) source tarballs, both .tar.bz2 and .tar.gz git tag The list of what’s new in 2.6.0 can be found in the ChangeLog. Of special note for users of 10.6-10.8: The default C++ stdlib has changed from libstdc++ to libc++. This will enable building ports that require C++11 and beyond much more easily. All C++-based ports using the old stdlib will need to be rebuilt, so we recommend that you run ‘sudo port rev-upgrade’ after updating to MacPorts 2.6.0. We are currently in the process of switching the packages server over to the new stdlib, so availability of binary packages for 10.6-10.8 will be reduced for a time until the builds catch up. (There will initially be no availability for a hopefully very short time until we flip the switch to mark the archives as libc++.) If you previously followed the LibcxxOnOlderSystems instructions on the wiki, you should revert the changes to macports.conf that the instructions specify. In particular, default_compilers should not be set so that the new MacPorts version can pick the compilers itself. You also probably want buildfromsource to be its default value (“ifneeded”) so that you will use binaries once they are available. A big thanks to the developers for their hard work with all of the various features and bug fixes in 2.6.0, and to all those who helped out by reporting bugs or testing. Detached PGP signatures for the pkg/dmgs and source tarballs have been made by Joshua Root, whose public key is available on the keyservers and the MacPorts wiki.

Source code and pkgs for MacPorts 2.6.0-rc1 are now available. Testing of either of these install methods is helpful. Be prepared to encounter bugs. As always, having a recent backup would be wise. Please report any bugs that you find (after first ... [More] searching Trac, of course!) If no show-stopping bugs are found in the next few days, this will become the 2.6.0 release. There are a large number of changes in this release. See the ChangeLog for a list of most of the major ones. You may like to focus your testing on the new features in that list, as well as your normal usage. Changes since beta1 are: Fixed port deps not showing depends_patch Added bump action to port man page Please see the 2.6.0-beta1 announcement below for important information for users of Mac OS X 10.6, 10.7 and 10.8.

You may like to focus your testing on the new features in that list, as well as your normal usage. Of special note: For 10.14 users: The pkg meets Apple’s new requirements for notarization. This includes enabling the hardened runtime for all executables, which has the potential to cause new issues due to denying access to certain system resources and preventing the loading of unsigned plugins. Please let us know about any such problems. For users of 10.6-10.8: The default C++ stdlib has changed from libstdc++ to libc++. This will enable building ports that require C++11 and beyond much more easily. All C++-based ports using the old stdlib will need to be rebuilt, so we recommend that you run ‘sudo port rev-upgrade’ after installing the beta. You will no longer get binary packages for 10.6-10.8 until we switch the packages server over to the new stdlib along with the final 2.6.0 release. You may want to install clang-8.0, clang-3.7, clang-3.4 and their dependencies before installing the beta, to save a bit of build time (the newer clang versions already use libc++ and so won’t need to be rebuilt.) If you previously followed the LibcxxOnOlderSystems instructions on the wiki, you should revert the changes to macports.conf that the instructions specify. In particular, default_compilers should not be set so that the new MacPorts version can pick the compilers itself.

MacPorts’ new ports database is live at ports.macports.org. Please consider installing the “mpstats” port to enable submission of anonymous information about your system and installed ports for statistical purposes. The information collected is ... [More] currently: MacPorts version OS name and version CPU architecture Selected C++ standard library Xcode, command line tools, and GCC versions Name, version, selected variants, and requested status of each installed port A UUID so we can tell whether submissions are from distinct users The site also shows which OS versions each port was successfully built on, has links to open Trac tickets, and more. This new site is the result of much hard work by our GSoC student, Arjun Salyan. We hope you find it useful. [Less]
