I'm the maintainer of cairo for the MacPorts package management system. In MacPorts we have two ports for cairo: the latest stable version, and the latest development version. If there aren't going to be any more development versions I could delete the development version port. Or I could switch to using git snapshots, as was suggested to me by another of our contributors: https://trac.macports.org/ticket/40822
