It looks like the MacPorts version of shellcheck is substantially out-of-date[1].

`brew info shellcheck` shows just three (build-time) dependencies: cabal-install, ghc, and pandoc.

Yes, it hasn't been updated because dependencies have to be updated first. See recent discussion on updating ghc: https://trac.macports.org/ticket/48899#comment:43.

Oh thanks! That's a fascinating discussion.

Yeah, probably is, I only use macports as my computer is substantially out of date (2006)! But even my 'port info shellcheck' (0.3.8) only says:

Build Dependencies: apple-gcc42

Library Dependencies: ghc, hs-json, hs-mtl, hs-parsec, hs-quickcheck-devel, hs-regex-tdfa
