#27747: readline-5: let to install libreadline.dylib (allow linking from GPLv2 programs) ----------------------------------+----------------------------------------- Reporter: kimuraw@… | Owner: macports-tickets@… Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 1.9.2 Keywords: | Port: readline-5 ----------------------------------+----------------------------------------- The current version of port:readline-5 installs only header files. I hope port:readline-5 to provide .dylib files. The license of readline was changed to GPLv3+ from GPLv2+ at version 6. Programs licensed under GPLv2, such as "ruby", cannot link readline-6.x. I make a patch to provide .dylib files. The patched port installs - header files: ${prefix}/include/readline5 - library files: ${prefix}/lib/readline5 I've checked no ports depends on port:readline-5. So I think this change do not have problems. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/27747> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
