    It's unmaintained, according to @theuni. https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/14920/files#r246964938

    Alternative is to put it under CI. I don't have a strong opinion on this, opened for separate consideration.

    Concept ACK. If it's unmaintained it should be removed, simple as that. Unless someone cares enough and promises to pick this up.

    Concept ACK. Doing this has been mentioned many times. Macports instructions were dropped from the macOS build readme in #4939 (>4 years ago, discussion in #4917), and I don't think anyone has complained/asked to have them re-added.

    Unsupported stuff should go.

    Rebasing cleared this up.

    For the poor soul that may come here in the future, trying to compile using MacPorts.

    Add the following to your Bash .profile:

    export BDB_CFLAGS=/opt/local/include/db48/
export CPPFLAGS="$CPPFLAGS -isystem /opt/local/include"
export LIBS="$LIBS -L/opt/local/lib"
export CPPFLAGS="$CPPFLAGS -I/opt/local/include/db48"
export LIBS="$LIBS -L/opt/local/lib/db48"

    Restart your shell.

    Bitcoin Core will now compile.
