#46635: libtool: update to 2.4.5; use xz ---------------------------+---------------------- Reporter: ryandesign@… | Owner: larryv@… Type: update | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 2.3.99 Resolution: | Keywords: haspatch Port: libtool | ---------------------------+---------------------- Comment (by ryandesign@…): Using xz results in a smaller distfile download, and xz and its dependencies don't currently depend on libtool. However, it's possible one of them may at some point need to depend on libtool. For example, it was requested that gettext should depend on libtool in #38878. So maybe it is safer to stick with a distfile format that does not depend on another MacPorts port to be extracted. Perhaps a future version of MacPorts will be bundled with its own copy of the xz utils, as discussed recently on the mailing lists, and then it wouldn't be a problem. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/46635#comment:2> MacPorts <https://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X
