#48562: Update qwt to 6.1.2 ------------------------+-------------------------------- Reporter: ghweber@… | Owner: macports-tickets@… Type: update | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 2.3.3 Resolution: | Keywords: haspatch Port: qwt | ------------------------+-------------------------------- Comment (by ryandesign@…): Replying to [ticket:48562 ghweber@…]:
The attached Portfile adds a qwt61 variant (replacing the qwt-devel variant that installs an outdated release 6.1 release candidate), which installs the current Qwt 6.1.2
You mean subport, not variant.
- I am not sure if I need to add something to ensure that existing installations of qwt-devel get upgraded to qwt61.
Yes, you do: you need to retain a qwt-devel subport, which contains the line `replaced_by qwt61`. The version or revision of qwt-devel also needs to be increased to cause the replacement to occur.
