#21082: MacPorts 1.8.0 deletes ${prefix} if it is a symlink -------------------------------------+-------------------------------------- Reporter: ryandesign@… | Owner: macports-tickets@… Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: MacPorts 1.8.1 Component: base | Version: 1.8.0 Keywords: | Port: -------------------------------------+-------------------------------------- Comment(by devans@…): I have had the same problem on my system. I was running out of disk space on my main disk so moved /opt/local to a second disk with a link link this {{{ /opt/local -> /Volumes/disk2/opt/local }}} Note that any symlink that appears in the 'directory' portion of a path that is being deactivated or uninstalled will be deleted. Attached is a patch that fixes the problem for me although someone who knows more about MacPorts could probably do it better. -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.macports.org/ticket/21082#comment:2> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
