jitsi-meet-electron @2023.10.0: still broken after rebuilding it more than 3 times

[TallTed (Ted Thibodeau Jr)]

Trying to install Jitsi Meet Electron Version: 2023.10.0 on macOS Mojave 10.14.6 (18G9323) because the GUI version from GitHub forces update upon quit, and ​2023.11.0 requires macOS Catalina 10.15.x or later.

Error: Port jitsi-meet-electron is still broken after rebuilding it more than 3 times.
Error: Please run port -d -y rev-upgrade and use the output to report a bug.
Error: rev-upgrade failed: Port jitsi-meet-electron still broken after rebuilding 3 times
Error: Follow https://guide.macports.org/#project.tickets if you believe there is a bug.

As advised --

$ sudo port -d -y rev-upgrade

The above list of Frameworks that were introduced more recently than macOS Mojave would seem to suggest that the ​Port Health should be changed, and that there should optimally be some test performed by the port install/build, to prevent install/build attempts of 2023.11.0 or later on Mojave or earlier, and optimally leads the MacPorts user to the relevant older version for their environment (which I would have thought was 2023.10.0, as that's the GUI version that works on Mojave, just requiring manual reinstall after each use since it also forces a background auto update).

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

Ports can be engineered to install appropriate older versions on older versions of macOS. At present, the jitsi-meet-electron port has not been engineered that way. Or additional ports can be created to provide older versions. At present, there is only one version, the one in jitsi-meet-electron.

Ports can indicate their range of compatible versions (using the platforms keyword). At present, the jitsi-meet-electron port does not use that keyword.

While there are many deficiencies in the way the port health indicators are currently implemented, in this case the problem appears to be that the port does build, hence successful build status displayed on the port page.

All of the references to the new macOS frameworks are coming from Electron Framework.framework. It shouldn't have been possible to build that on Mojave with references to nonexistent frameworks, therefore I assume the build of jitsi-meet-electron did not build Electron Framework but rather copied a too-new version of Electron Framework that was downloaded from somewhere.
