#18315: 1.7.0 install hangs on Leopard 10.5.6 -------------------------------------+-------------------------------------- Reporter: velociraptor@… | Owner: macports-tickets@… Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: MacPorts Future Component: base | Version: 1.7.0 Keywords: postflight, shell error | Port: -------------------------------------+-------------------------------------- Comment(by velociraptor@…): I can attempt to re-run the installer after archiving off my existing ports and testing to see what happens again. The first time I attempted to install was over an existing PPC MacPorts install that had been migrated over by the Migration Assistant. That hung at about 1/3. I realized that it was going to leave me with a bunch of stupid work to do, since Mac Ports doesn't check for "arch" just "version" on ports. Rather than trying to come up with a script to fix it, I noted down all my key ports and wiped it and re-installed from scratch. When I ran the re-install it got to the 2/3 point before it hung. Unfortunately, I'm not going to have time to do a archive/re-install this week to test, due to work constraints. Possible ways to test rsync's status would be to either send it's output to another log file and check that for changes, use lsof to check for an open, active ports (lsof -Pni) to the MacPorts repository, or possibly dtrace. Even doing a check of the number of bytes changed on disk at 3 minute intervals would do it. Or at least give the user some idea of how much data needs to be transferred so they can check it themselves. -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.macports.org/ticket/18315#comment:7> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
