Yep, sorry - you could make a clamav port that follows upstream v0.104.x (while upstream is still supporting that version) and/or try to get rust working on darwin ppc
Note: See
TracTickets for help on using
tickets.
this is no doubt a "wontfix" or more like a "can't fix".
I'm not sure that this port should fiddle around with it's supported archs and buildable systems, as clamav has no business tracking what systems rust will or will not build on. These details change, and should be kept in the rust Portfile, where they are now, rather than expecting clamav to track them...
and just because rust currently won't build on powerpc darwin doesn't mean it won't build on powerpc linux, or that someone won't fix it to build tomorrow...
