Eric Brown: PR pkg/52567: Readme.MacOSX is out of date
Additional changes by me: don't mention that the file isn't README.OSX
due to OS X being a different name, because the new name macOS makes
the filename less confusing.
Substantially revise the ABI 32/64 discussion, separating the
close-in-time changes about the default ABI vs how it is encoded.
Thanks to jperkin for off-list clarifications.
Replace and simplify the versions section. Drop notion of
supported/deprecated. Explain why people run specific old versions.
Assert that there are no 10.4 pkgsrc users, and very few 10.5. Keep
notion that PRs for <= 10.5 without fixes can be closed without
fixing.
Explain Darwin vs OS X. Point to PureDarwin. Explain that pkgsrc for
Darwin is really for OSX and invite doc patches.
Make a few minor edits.
It remains for someone to explain more clearly the issue of
broken/missing SDKs in 10.11 and command line tools.
As discussed on tech-pkg, with input from jperkin and tron.
- Remove information about older versions of pkgsrc.
- Note that /usr/include is gone and that there are SDKs
- Add hazy explanation of the missing SDK/command-line-tools issue.
- Add 10.11 (but do not change deprecation status of anything).
- Clarify (but do not try to update for current reality) the 10.6/10.9
bulk build descriptions.
This was added in 2004 and there have been no reports of anyone even
trying to use it in many many years. Searching on the web finds only
information from 2003.
Add Joyent bulk build links.

Basically: 10.9's sed is broken, bootstrap works around this via nbsed
on 10.9, and therefore while a 10.6 boostrap's binaries will *run* on
10.9, one can't reliably build new packages.
(Thanks to jperkin@ for pointing this out.)
on consensus of pkgsrc developers from private discussion.
Essentially 10.3 and below will not be allowed to clutter the PR db,
10.4 is iffy, and 10.5 and 10.6 are normal.
to support being checked out on case-insensitive file systems, and
many bulk builds have been done since then. Remove verbiage on this
subject, since nobody needs to concern themselves with it anymore,
and retire the associated script to create a suitable disk image.
(Similar changes to the Guide will follow shortly.)
README.MacOSX. Update the developer tools notes for 10.3. Mention that
XFree86 has X packages for older versions of OS X that Apple doesn't
provide X for.
