#15395: Use primary port category for fetched distfile layout ----------------------------------+----------------------------------------- Reporter: wsiegrist@apple.com | Owner: wsiegrist@apple.com Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: MacPorts base enhancements Component: base | Version: Resolution: | Keywords: fetch mirror distfiles ----------------------------------+----------------------------------------- Comment (by raimue@macports.org): First of all, there are other places where this variable is used in `portclean.tcl` which would also need the new location for proper cleaning. We could change the default of dist_subdir to fix it in all locations without much rewriting. I didn't test it, but I mean something like this: {{{ default dist_subdir {[lindex categories 0]/${portname}} }}} This would still allow to override the default dist_subdir with the fetch directory of another port by using `dist_subdir category/portname`. The downside is that we would need to change it in all existing Portfiles using dist_subdir (I counted 190 ports). -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.macports.org/ticket/15395#comment:2> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
