Interesting! https://ports.macports.org/port/git/details/ It looks like the most recent build is from 2021 https://ports.macports.org/port/git/builds/?builder_name__name=10.5_ppc_legacy . https://ports.macports.org/port/git/stats/?days=365&days_ago=0 shows 10 total PowerPC downloads in the past year between versions 10.4, 10.5 and 10.6

I don't have the equipment or expertise to develop on macOS, so I'll leave the API migration as a potential future #leftoverbits

Reading the keychain docs more carefully, the new API only supports a fixed set of attribute keys such as 'kSecAttrComment', so discount my original "further motivation" https://developer.apple.com/documentation/security/keychain_services/keychain_items/item_attribute_keys_and_values?language=objc
