#34461: git-core - make the Portfile independent of the installed version of Perl --------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: macintosh@… | Owner: ciserlohn@… Type: enhancement | Status: assigned Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 2.1.0 Keywords: haspatch | Port: git-core --------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Comment(by jmr@…): Replying to [comment:6 macintosh@…]:
I'm sorry, but your statement is not correct.[[BR]] It works perfectly in all instances I've used it. Then your testing has been insufficient. Example: Build an archive of git- core on a machine with only perl5.12 installed, then install it on a machine with only perl5.14 installed. None of the perl-using bits will work.
This can happen because "git-core-1.7.11.5_0.darwin_11.x86_64.tbz2" is produced in both cases. If there was a variant controlling which perl to use, it would be e.g. "git-core-1.7.11.5_0+perl512.darwin_11.x86_64.tbz2" vs "git-core-1.7.11.5_0+perl514.darwin_11.x86_64.tbz2", and only the matching archive would be installed. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/34461#comment:9> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
