Determine variant of dependency
by Michael Wild 28 Sep '07

28 Sep '07

Hi all I'm writing currently a Portfile for an application which depends on port:qt4-mac. Unfortunately, that port has the variant +framework which builds the qt4 libraries as frameworks. Unfortunately this changes the whole build process for my port. Now I would have to determine the variant with which qt4-mac is installed in order to able to build my port. Is there any way I can do that with the means provided by MacPorts? Thanks for the help Michael

UPDATE: whois commit request
by David Evans 27 Sep '07

27 Sep '07

The current port of whois is broken because the source has been removed from the Debian repository. Have submitted a patch as http://trac.macports.org/projects/macports/ticket/12798 which updates the port from version 4.7.22 to 4.7.23 which is available. Would appreciate it if someone could review and commit the update or suggest changes as appropriate. Thanks

Re: fetching from closer mirrors?

Just default to North America, it's close enough to the center of the internet anyway (some networks only interconnect in the US, so traffic will route there anyway). It's essentially the same as what we have now. For people on other continents who care - they can specify something in the ports.conf file to prefer their continent. The fetch lists would have to be sorted, and the fetch code modified to respect the new conf key (with fallback to other sites as needed). > And many, many ports do not use any servers in this list; they just > specify a master site URL (or several URLs) directly. And they would not benefit (I think that that's OK). ... anything more complicated than this is probably a waste of time. (In fact, most networks currently don't have the same problems with trans-oceanic connections that they used to) ... in any event, there's not much point in discussing this without a patch to implement it ;-) -- Daniel J.

(I get "DEBUG: No compiler collection selected explicitly".) What version of gcc are you expecting to get by setting this? libuninameslist builds just fine for me with Apple's gcc 4.0 on my MacBook Pro with Mac OS X 10.4.10, Xcode 2.4.1 and MacPorts 1.5.2.

Removing xrender from cairo's +quartz?
by Ernest Prabhakar 25 Sep '07

25 Sep '07

Hi all, I'm working on a Portfile for Shoes: whytheluckystiff It relies on the Quartz version of Cairo. However, installing Cairo with +atsui +quartz still insists on building xrender, which brings in all of X11. Any Cairo gurus know if that's really necessary? And if not, is there a clean way to remove that dependency from within the quartz variant? Or, should that be part of a (default) X11 variant? -- Ernie P.

variants, deps and upgrades
by Yves de Champlain 24 Sep '07

24 Sep '07

Hi I'm doing some tests with gtk-quartz. Many hours of genuine delight garanteed. Now, gtk-quartz does not need Xft2 and xrender. So I made the quartz variant remove those deps. But "port upgrade" will try to install them anyway. So I thought of this. I could make quartz variants for those ports to make them install barely a receipt. Some sort of stub. But it seems like a cheesy solution to me. Any advice ? thanks yves

port search
by Mij 23 Sep '07

$ port search fortran No match for fortran found $ port search g95 g95 lang/g95 0.90 Another GNU Fortran 95 compiler the same with "latex", "editor" and much more wouldn't it be better to make "search" actually searching thoughout descriptions too?
