I've submitted a Pull Request to update MacPorts' rpki-client to 9.8 here:

GitHub Continuous Integration checks passed OK!

It's up to someone else to merge it.

I couldn't help but notice the most recent OpenBGPD release announcement mentioned something about a -portable branch? Admittedly, it has been a very long time since I looked at building OpenBGPD on macOS, but maybe it is worth looking at again? I still think it is probably ill advised to use macOS for something as critical as routing insomuch as it sleeps, with abandon, unless /usr/bin/caffeinate is invoked.

Azure lacks broader infra support. 8 years on CLI still has considerable gaps. https://github.com/Azure/azure-cli/issues/7361 #MacPorts #Azure #Microsoft #CloudComputing

Meanwhile, since the OpenSSH 10.3p1 PR was merged, this issue reared its head on OS X Snow Leopard:

https://trac.macports.org/ticket/73786#comment:1

I'm guessing, some of the sandbox stuff removed in a more recent MacPorts OpenSSH release may be why? I tried, unsuccessfully, to refactor that and even put out an appeal to the MacPorts' dev mailing list to no avail. ;-/

Also, that PAM related OpenSSH issue reported on OS X Leopard (PPC) does not appear to have been fixed by 10.3p1's PAM related changes as I had hoped: https://trac.macports.org/ticket/73757

Dang it!

It is not exactly as if I am at my wit's end. I do have at least a G4 PowerBook in storage, but I do not know when I will next get to my storage unit. Similarly, I may have a system capable of running Snow Leopard in storage (or at least, I think I did, long ago?)? I do not know when I will be able to retrieve them nor how helpful my own skills will be in remediating either of those issues though. ;-/

Maybe it is the sort of stuff that should be reported upstream? I dunno; it feels as if it is probably more of a MacPorts' thing than an upstream thing tbh; and while there are definitely some valiant MacPorts' maintainers who rawk older OS X versions on the regular by the looks of things? I am not among them.

I'm currently at work (Thursday organ devotionals) so I won't be in front of a laptop to update MacPorts' OpenSSH for several more hours.

Hopefully it will go smoothly? I tested a snapshot not too long ago without issues.

Though someone did report a bug on older versions of OS X recently:

https://trac.macports.org/ticket/73757

I have no idea when I will be able to return to my storage unit to dig up one of my old G4 PowerBooks to even try to recreate or remediate that though. ;(

Last time I ran into some GitHub CI BS? It seemed to resolve itself (maybe some other MacPorts person kicked something? I dunno). Anyway, hopefully something similar will happen there.

Regardless, it's up to someone else with commit access to merge it.

I submitted a Pull Request to update MacPorts' signify to 1.63 here:

https://github.com/macports/macports-ports/pull/31754

1 of 3 GitHub Continuous Integration checks passed (the other two are queued, but hopefully will complete without issues).

Not really much new here, more just syncing with upstream, which tagged a new release version for 7.9-beta.

tbh, I think this signify fork can probably ditch a lot of the OpenBSD keys? MacPorts (which also uses signify, from an older fork) does the same thing too. I looked into cleaning up that code a little bit to sync MacPorts' built-in signify, with this, but didn't get very far with it last time I gave it a go (there are some functions OpenBSD has, which older versions of OS X don't and someone else already did the heavy lifting for MacPorts' built-in signify a while ago and re-creating their work was more than I was able to bite off and chew on a Friday night the last time I went looking).

Anyway, assuming the other CI checks pass, it's up to someone else with commit access to merge it.
