    7 Do not rely on https://packages.macports.org for determining port health. https://packages.macports.org is for prebuilt binaries of ports. You will not find any prebuilt MySQL/MariaDB ports, because they are built with OpenSSL 1.1, which MySQL/MariaDB themselves being licensed under GPL do not allow binary redistribution of (this condition may go away if the ports are migrated to OpenSSL 3, which is GPL compatible).
     7Do not rely on https://packages.macports.org for determining port health. https://packages.macports.org is for prebuilt binaries of ports. You will not find any prebuilt ~~MySQL~~/MariaDB ports, because they are built with OpenSSL 1.1, which ~~MySQL~~/MariaDB themselves being licensed under GPL do not allow binary redistribution of (this condition may go away if the ports are migrated to OpenSSL 3, which is GPL compatible). (edit: the MySQL ports still use OpenSSL 1.1 but the ports now reflect that recent MySQL is licensed with OpenSSL linking exception, so binary archives should be available for them.)

    99The build status/port health, even for ports not binary redistributable, is shown on https://ports.macports.org. Many MySQL/MariaDB ports do currently build on various macOS versions, though there are various unresolved and unreported failures.
