#37641: couchdb-devel @1.3.0a1177555 Project moved to git ------------------------------+-------------------------- Reporter: jeff-macports@… | Owner: ryandesign@… Type: update | Status: assigned Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 2.1.2 Resolution: | Keywords: haspatch Port: couchdb-devel | ------------------------------+-------------------------- Comment (by jeff-macports@…): Thanks for the maintainer info. I'll do that for both ports. ---- Re pkgconfig I had the same thought but didn't bother to look into it. I'll go read up on build vs runtime dependencies and get that sorted out. ---- Re git version number, I feel kinda dumb about that. I've run into that before myself on other stuff but it just didn't occur to me this time. Thanks for pointing it out. ---- Re similarities to couchdb, many of the changes in this patch are because I was diffing couchdb-devel/Portfile with couchdb/Portfile and trying to get the diff as short as possible. I'll make the more stylistic changes a separate patch. ---- Re configure patch, I removed it because it didn't seem to be doing anything useful given the same check was happening in the portfile. Now that I read into it more I see why it was done. #30089 helped me understand that the portfile is run under root but configure and build are run under another. It seems pretty clear that the bug appeared because $HOME was not changed when dropping from root to the macports user. It was still trying to write into /var/root because that was still the value of $HOME. Given that I still hold that it can be removed, though for different reasons than I thought initially, because the actual underlying issue of the home directory was fixed in the macports release 2.0.4.
