Usually the patch files are overwritten along with the Portfile. So you have one set of Portfile + files for each version/release. And when you add the new distfile for the new version of the port, the old distfile is removed at the same time (usually same commit)
I think he's talking about patches fetched from remote sources.
Yes. Of course, I could put the patches in the MacPorts repository, but I don't think this is recommended, as not every MacPorts user need them (if every ports did that, it would multiply the repository and working copy size by some factor).
Okay, then it will fall into the "what to do when upstream does not have versioned files" category. As in: they probably need renaming.
Upstream patches are versioned: they are in different subdirectories. But MacPorts doesn't care, unless I've missed something to have the subdirectory taken into account.
e.g. patch01 -> mpfr-2.3.0-patch01
How can I do that? "patchfiles" contains only the patch names, I didn't see any possibility of rename. -- 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)
