#23125: graphics/libpng update version, tweak livecheck ------------------------------------+--------------------------------------- Reporter: rmsfisher@… | Owner: ryandesign@… Type: update | Status: assigned Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: Keywords: | Port: libpng ------------------------------------+--------------------------------------- Comment(by ryandesign@…): You're right, there would be a lot of ports to revbump, not just those that list libpng as a dependency, but also those that indirectly use libpng, which we may only discover through analyzing our installed ports, or worst case through bug reports later. But we've successfully used this revbump strategy with jpeg 7 and again with jpeg 8. My concern with Joshua's proposal is the hack for deactivating libpng @1.2.x before installing libpng12. It can be simplified a bit now that MacPorts 1.9.0 is out, but it's still using commands that were not meant to appear in Portfiles. Though it's not like we haven't used various internal MacPorts methods in other ports before. (I know I'm guilty of this with php5.) And perhaps keeping both libpng12 @1.2.x and libpng @1.4.x is a good idea for now, since probably some software still doesn't work with libpng 1.4.x yet. -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.macports.org/ticket/23125#comment:11> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
