#12989: port -f upgrade considered harmful --------------------------------+------------------------------------------- Reporter: stephen@… | Owner: macports-tickets@… Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: MacPorts Future Component: base | Version: 1.5.0 Keywords: | Port: --------------------------------+------------------------------------------- Comment(by jmr@…): I guess I don't understand the issue then. It seems like the problem is simply that p5-pathtools can't be installed without force-activation, which is what #12710 is about. Rebuilding things regardless of whether they are outdated is the intended behaviour of force upgrade. I agree that being told simply to "use -f" when you initially ran an upgrade command is misleading. I've improved the message in r47848. -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.macports.org/ticket/12989#comment:8> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
