#29822: p5-http-date @6.00_0 trips up p5-libwww-perl 6.x upgrade when using direct mode ------------------------------+--------------------------------------------- Reporter: l2g@… | Owner: l2g@… Type: defect | Status: assigned Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 1.9.2 Keywords: | Port: p5-http-date ------------------------------+--------------------------------------------- Comment(by l2g@…): I've thought this over a bit. In direct mode, there is only one version of each port installed. So to have the same upgrade behavior in direct mode, p5-libwww-perl would simply have to be uninstalled. But if a failure occurs, then the system is left with no p5-libwww-perl. That makes me uneasy. (At least in image mode, a deactivated p5-libwww- perl is still installed.) So I think the "workaround" given above may actually be the best route for direct-mode users to go. Thus I would want to edit this port, p5-libwww- perl, and all of its dependents so they would inform direct-mode users of this necessity, rather than simply allow upgrades to fail without explanation. Objections? Other suggestions? -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/29822#comment:2> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
