Version 0.42.0 doesn't truly support macos 15

[Boosted-Bonobo]

Continuation for #18766 as it got locked so I wasn't able to give one last comment.

There is no unwillingness to update. I am EXPLICITLY testing older versions for regressions.

I just test for regressions with all supported versions, that's all.

If support for 15 is not guaranteed, then the 15 from the release name is confusing and I'm sure others will run into something similar from another version that is not the latest, be that for 26, 27 or something in the future.

EDIT

Not sure why you don't want to have a discussion so much, when it could definitely be helpful to someone somewhere in the future.

I have tested building mpv with both freetype 2.14.3 and with 2.15.0 and they both work, so the issue might indeed be from something from homebrew.

^^^ If someone still uses mpv on older versions of macos, then the solution is to install it through nix.

the discussion is over. do you really think circumventing the lock is a wise idea?

• you don't even have the problem
• you construct a pretty obscure error case
• nothing but the latest versions of the latest three major macOS versions are support by Apple or homebrew
• anything else is by 'conincidence'
