#22925: MacPorts should support co-existing openmotif 2.2.4 and 2.3.2 packages like fink. --------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: howarth@… | Owner: macports-tickets@… Type: request | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: Keywords: x11 | Port: openmotif22 --------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Comment(by howarth@…): Replying to [comment:2 ryandesign@…]:
Ok, so in MacPorts parlance, this would be a request to create an openmotif22 port.
The key point is that programs built against the current openmotif package shouldn't have to be[[BR]] deactivated everytime one wants to run a program built against the new openmotif22 package.[[BR]] In fink this is achieved by having the shared libraries from each motif package exist in *-shlibs split-off[[BR]] packages. Too bad MacPorts doesn't support some form of partial de- activation where certain files[[BR]] such as the shared libraries could be left in place while the rest of the package's files are de-activated. -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.macports.org/ticket/22925#comment:3> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
