apt 0.5.27 failed to build on OS X Yosemite.

[jiapu.mail@…]

apt failed to be install due to compiler error. This is on OS X 10.10.2 and Xcode 6.2. The error message is:

It is known that apt 0.5.27 cannot be built with clang, which is why the portfile blacklists clang. Unfortunately, clang is the only compiler available in Xcode 5 and later, which means this port cannot be built on versions of OS X that use Xcode 5 or later, which includes Yosemite.

It also doesn't build with gcc-4.2; see #34412.

The port is many years out of date; see #13425. Updating the port may help.

The port has no maintainer, so someone will have to volunteer to do that.
