#14172: unison upgrade removed unison-2.13 - synchronization with some machines fails ----------------------------------+----------------------------------------- Reporter: vinc17@macports.org | Owner: eridius@macports.org Type: defect | Status: closed Priority: High | Milestone: Port Bugs Component: ports | Version: 1.6.0 Resolution: wontfix | Keywords: ----------------------------------+----------------------------------------- Changes (by eridius@macports.org): * status: reopened => closed * resolution: => wontfix Comment: I'm not willing to tie MacPorts against another packaging system, especially one known for providing old, outdated software. Similarly, I'm not willing to add a new Portfile just for an older version, especially when that doesn't provide a clear upgrade path for users who no longer need that old version. The solution here is if you need an old version, you can install it yourself. You can even build ocaml through MacPorts still, which means building unison yourself is trivial. However, I think the better version is to just install 2.27 on your debian machine. Sure, you're not admin, but you can still install it in your $HOME/bin directory (heck, I think that's the default installation location). Then just make sure that's first in PATH, or instruct your other unison installs where to find the unison-2.27 binary. -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.macosforge.org/projects/macports/ticket/14172#comment:5> MacPorts </projects/macports> Ports system for Mac OS
