Modelines

Where, outside of the mailing list, are the modeline rules posted? What is the current recommended modeline for portfiles. Going through the emails I am a bit confused...

(#10905) default_variants is buggy in MacPorts. It might be better to do it as in the attached patch.

Popularity Contest
by Thomas Reifferscheid 18 Nov '07

Dear list, in Debian there is a popularity contest. Debian users submit their list of installed packages on a voluntarily basis once a week. Do you think macports should or could have such a thing as well? Details for the debian popularity contest can be found on http://popcon.debian.org/ Kind regards Thomas Reifferscheid

REPO=http://svn.macosforge.org/repository/macports svn mkdir $REPO/branches/simon-doc-test svn mv $REPO/trunk/doc-new-test $REPO/branches/simon-doc-test/doc-new

You might want to change your maintainer address to your macports.org address (also on the caml-menhir, gtk-canvas and tre ports).

libgtop's dependency on gnome-terminal
by Rainer Müller 18 Nov '07

18 Nov '07

Hi, I discovered today that libgtop depends on gnome-terminal which pulls in the whole gnome-platform-suite. I don't understand why this dependency is declared, because libgtop builds fine without gnome-terminal. Is this a mistake? Rainer

err.h problem when running selfupdate
by Jeff 18 Nov '07

18 Nov '07

installed MacPorts-1.5.0-10.5.dmg on an Intel Mac Mini running OS X 10.5.1, then ran "sudo port -d selfupdate" and got the following part- way thru the configuring: checking err.h usability... no checking err.h presence... yes configure: WARNING: err.h: present but cannot be compiled configure: WARNING: err.h: check for missing prerequisite headers? configure: WARNING: err.h: see the Autoconf documentation configure: WARNING: err.h: section "Present But Cannot Be Compiled" configure: WARNING: err.h: proceeding with the preprocessor's result configure: WARNING: err.h: in the future, the compiler will take precedence configure: WARNING: ## ------------------------------------------------ ## configure: WARNING: ## Report this to macports-dev(a)lists.macosforge.org ## configure: WARNING: ## ------------------------------------------------ ## checking for err.h... yes as well as this near the bottom of the process: In file included from xinstall.c:58: /usr/include/err.h:309: error: syntax error before '*' token /usr/include/err.h:312: error: syntax error before '*' token make[2]: *** [xinstall.o] Error 1 make[1]: *** [all] Error 1 make: *** [all] Error 1 What can I do about that? Looking online I see suggestions related to the configure.ac file, however if I update that and re-run the selfupdate command the file just gets overwritten! Any suggestions? - Jeff
