#29683: Incorrect downloads still marked as completed ----------------------------------------+----------------------------------- Reporter: joe@… | Owner: macports-tickets@… Type: defect | Status: closed Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: base | Version: 1.9.2 Resolution: wontfix | Keywords: Port: | ----------------------------------------+----------------------------------- Changes (by jmr@…): * status: new => closed * resolution: => wontfix Comment: Fetch and checksum are separate phases. Fetch did download something, so it's complete. The build phase is also marked as complete even if the code is not built correctly, as long as make exits with status 0. Changing the fundamental way targets work would be a really big job and it's not clear that it's even a good idea. The design decisions in port(1) are geared towards allowing you to diagnose what went wrong, rather than glossing over the fact that anything did. A nice user-friendly automatic "clean up and try again" behaviour is the domain of some other tool, like Pallet or the proposed interactive command-line front end. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/29683#comment:3> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
