#31499: Pallet fails to list ports based on case sensitivity? --------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: jeremydouglass@… | Owner: juanger@… Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 2.0.3 Keywords: | Port: Pallet --------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Comment(by jeremydouglass@…): Replying to [comment:2 ryandesign@…]:
MacPorts does not allow "imagemagick" to be installed. If you say "sudo port install imagemagick", "ImageMagick" will be installed.
Did you actually read the description above? If you say "sudo port install imagmagick", then yes, ImageMagick is installed. *However* the case- insensitive form is recorded and reported back by "port intalled." So "port installed" reports "imagemagick". while Pallet fails to match it against "ImageMagick." One could either argue that:[[BR]] a) this is a bug, MacPorts should ignore "sudo port installed imagemagick" with some "port does not exist" error on case-sensitive operating systems, or[[BR]] b) this is a bug, MacPorts should process "sudo port intalled imagemagick" but then install it such that "port installed" returns "ImageMagick",[[BR]] c) this is a bug, the MacPorts behavior is just fine, and Pallet should correctly correlate whatever "port installed" reports, regardless of case[[BR]] [[BR]] ...but whichever way, it is a bug. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/31499#comment:3> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
