#18302: MacPorts doesn't recreate manpage symlink after compressing manpage if symlink is absolute -------------------------------------+-------------------------------------- Reporter: ryandesign@… | Owner: macports-tickets@… Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: MacPorts 1.8.0 Component: base | Version: 1.7.0 Keywords: | Port: -------------------------------------+-------------------------------------- Comment(by ryandesign@…): Replying to [comment:1 perry@…]:
From my brief testing, prefixing the destroot path to the absolute path is not what you want; you end up with symlinks referencing paths in destroot.
What I meant was, when checking to see if the target of the symlink exists, prepend the destroot if the target is an absolute path. When creating the new replacement symlink to the compressed manpage, of course you would not prepend the destroot. -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.macports.org/ticket/18302#comment:2> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
