#45194: ndmanager: Make port obsolete --------------------------+------------------------------ Reporter: nicos@… | Owner: FlorianFranzen@… Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: Resolution: | Keywords: haspatch Port: ndmanager | --------------------------+------------------------------ Comment (by nicos@…): I don't really want to force changes on qt4-mac, a port which is complicated enough as is. Furthermore, there is also a dependency to kde3, so that another deactivate hack would have to be used, added to the fact that this would imply automatic deactivation, which could break other ports. Replying to [comment:6 FlorianFranzen@…]:
I guess there is now way for us to rename ndmanger2 to ndamanger at a later point either without causing conflicts for the people that have not updated in a while.
I am just wondering what kind of plans you have after removing kde3 and as a consequence ndmanager from macports for ports like this. Would we just stick with ndmanger2 then?
As you said, there could always be a conflict for people who did not update. For this reason, there a policy in Macports that after one year ports can be removed. We could therefore stick with ndmanager2 for now on, or possibly rename back ndmanager after some time, even though this would imply a transfer by users again. Since there seem to be an agreement on the approach, I will commit the change shortly. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/45194#comment:7> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X
