Description
Hello
Thanks for the quick publication of BigSur support!
I was updating the autopkg recipe related to this and found something odd in the Github Release page: BigSur package is named MacPorts-2.6.4-11.0-BigSur.pkg just like Catalina package is named MacPorts-2.6.4-10.15-Catalina.pkg.
Catalina number based version goes from 10.15.0 to 10.15.99.
But BigSur version, in my understanding, goes from 11.0 to 11.99.
MacPorts package for BigSur shouldn't be named MacPorts-2.6.4-11-BigSur.pkg?
I ask just to be sure that our different understanding of new number version model match.

I assume that the next major version of macOS will be 12, and 13 after that, and so on. But we have no official information on that. For now we are calling Big Sur "11.0" to match the SDK name. If it turns out that Apple releases a Big Sur "11.1" update then we can change our numbering to match.

Hi
It was clear since WWDC that macOS 11 was BigSur, not just 11.0.
And just now beta 1 for 11.1 got released.
Next major release will be 12. macOS now adopt the same versioning pattern as all other appleOS.

It may have been clear if you watched the right WWDC sessions, but I still haven't seen this documented anywhere. But yes, it's now very clear with the beta that all 11.x is Big Sur. Do you know what is happening with the SDK and deployment target versions going forward?

I'll put it on the distfiles server.

Done. Now we'll need to fix the download links on the web site... Josh do you want to, or?
Do you know of any official source for how future OS versions will be numbered? 11.0 seems most correct so far to refer to all versions of Big Sur, e.g. the SDK is called
MacOSX11.0.sdk, the value to be used with MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET is11.0, and the resulting value of MAC_OS_X_VERSION_MIN_REQUIRED has the symbolic nameMAC_OS_VERSION_11_0.
