#28084: Use of composite version specs should be avoided ---------------------------------+------------------------------------------ Reporter: ken@… | Owner: macports-tickets@… Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: base | Version: 1.9.2 Keywords: registry version | Port: ---------------------------------+------------------------------------------ Comment(by jmr@…): So basically we want to be passing around separate version,revision,variants values whenever possible. The use of composite versions is a holdover from the flat registry, which ironically avoided this problem by actually storing the values this way. (So it would only run into trouble if there actually were two versions of a port installed at the same time where a different possible interpretation was correct for each.) -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/28084#comment:10> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
