#18149: coreutils +with_default_names vs. gettext vs. MacPorts -------------------------------------+-------------------------------------- Reporter: macports@… | Owner: macports-tickets@… Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: MacPorts Future Component: base | Version: 1.7.0 Keywords: | Port: gettext, coreutils -------------------------------------+-------------------------------------- Comment(by jmr@…): I fixed a handful of this stuff in r45851. There are valid reasons for calling out with system/exec sometimes, for example `file delete` doesn't handle directories on Panther, and `file link -symbolic` won't let you link to a file that doesn't exist. There are still quite a lot of places where bare command names are being used, and they should be converted to use full paths, preferably as detected by autoconf (and falling back on binaryInPath). These are the ones I found: {{{ bunzip2 chmod chown curl diff dscl file find gunzip gzip id lipo patch tar touch xcodebuild }}} At first glance it seems like all of them should be converted so that broken ports can't break base. But we should be careful of problems like what happened with svn (#15868). -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.macports.org/ticket/18149#comment:3> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
