What Apple claims to have done and what Apple actually does are two very different things. Apple has reached out to some projects with various levels of support, but it's not like they just dropped by all of those projects with patches on the day of WWDC.

Apple had their own stuff to develop, including a new architecture, a new OS version for 2 architectures, ports of all their apps, and several other stuff besides, including the UNIX userland they ship.

The idea that a company should be responsible for all third party FOSS stuff on its platform, used by a small minority of users, is a little strange...

That said, a MacPorts guy below says that "Apple engineers had patches for basic support ready fairly quickly".

Not to mention:

…and this is the link I replied to ;)

I'm not claiming they should have done anything. I was actually pleasantly surprised when they said they would. I'm just saying that they didn't show up with all the fixes as some may have believed from what Apple said during WWDC.

Lol, missed that. Rarely pay attention to who I'm responding to, just what they wrote :-)
