Portfiles that conform to our standards should be the norm, so only violators should have to indicate their non-standard behavior.
OK, so mtree violations should be fatal.
Well, I actually wanted to do this initially, leading to many angry people who were caught off-guard with non-functional ports.
As you said above, maintainers could add something to indicate their non-standard behavior (or users could report bugs).
The current state is that a violation is displayed via 'ui_msg', so everyone will see it.
Not in case of verbose output.
We can switch this behavior to a fatal one in one of our next releases, giving people a bit of time to realize those warnings and perhaps even fix them...
It would be better to do it now, or add a switch to the port command (which could be removed later) to make mtree violations fatal. -- Vincent Lefèvre <vincent@vinc17.org> - Web: <http://www.vinc17.org/> 100% accessible validated (X)HTML - Blog: <http://www.vinc17.org/blog/> Work: CR INRIA - computer arithmetic / Arenaire project (LIP, ENS-Lyon)
