Hmm.  I've never used MacPorts, so I'll probably not be an informed
commentator on its release flow.  If relevant (probably not):
https://ports.macports.org/port/p5.34-ipc-run/details/ does show missing "Port
Health" for Sequoia (x86_64), Sonoma (arm64), and Sonoma (x86_64).  Meanwhile,
https://ports.macports.org/port/p5.34-ipc-run/builds/ shows all builds of this
version happening in a <10min span, with no failures.  If there's some "port"
command mode to force an install from source, that might bypass the blockage.
