       Homebrew: 🤓we don't support anything except the latest macos version 🤓 if it doesn't work on your macos you should just upgrade to the latest version 🤓 we don't provide support on any other version, things will break, and this is expectedMacports: :nerdmouse: powerpc macs? sure thing, we support thatimage.jpg

       @eris that was a completely different system with almost nothing in common with 10 whatsoever, so i don't think so

       @vaartis @eris it didn't even have a command line of any kind by default, so any kind of package manager would necessarily be graphical, making Homebrew totally useless.

       Yeah you two are completely right.  Would need a completely different architecture for everythingCC: @vaartis@pl.kotobank.ch

       Part of me was thinking "oh maybe macports is THAT old".  But I suppose it does rely a lot on UNIXisms being availableCC: @famicom@pl.kotobank.ch @vaartis@pl.kotobank.ch

       @eris @famicom well, macports did release in 2002 first, which means at the time macos 9 was still in use (via the classic environment sandbox)

       @vaartis @eris given that mac os 9 already had an actual public funeral at WWDC in 2002, it's understandable why they decided not to put any effort into supporting it

       @famicom @eris especially if they knew they'd be supporting it for 25 years

       @vaartis @eris exactly. Ultimately, there's very little difference between Leopard and Sequoia when it comes to command-line applications. Both have a modern C compiler (Leopard doesn't by default, but you can easily bootstrap a modern gcc), both are standard-compliant Unixes, which is basically all you need to write something command-line.
