:info:configure configure: incompatible neon library version 0.32.5: wanted 0.24 25 26 27 28
:info:configure configure: using bundled neon (0.28.2)

Sitecopy didn't have an update since 2008. Might want to mark the port as obsolete.

Let's investigate if we can fix it first. Please attach the config.log.

Looks like this configure script is just very picky about what version of neon accepts, and it has not been updated since we updated neon to 0.32.x. We've fixed it before for previous neon versions in #63457, and once before that as well.

Because it could not find a MacPorts neon it liked, it tried to build its bundled ancient copy of neon which has problems building on current systems.

Here's a PR to fix it again: ​https://github.com/macports/macports-ports/pull/20310

Julian, since you are the maintainer and have not specified openmaintainer, we require your approval of the PR on GitHub before it can be merged, or we will merge it if we have not heard from you within 72 hours. We would also like to add your GitHub handle to the maintainers line so that you will be automatically notified of pull requests for your ports. If you would like to allow minor changes like this without your approval, we can add openmaintainer to the maintainers line. If you no longer wish to maintain the port, let us know and we'll remove you from the maintainers line.
