#26853: MacPorts should say why it is (re)installing a dependency -------------------------------------+-------------------------------------- Reporter: ryandesign@… | Owner: macports-tickets@… Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: base | Version: 1.9.1 Keywords: | Port: -------------------------------------+-------------------------------------- Comment(by ryandesign@…): I should add that it's usually a PEBKAC: once MacPorts updated python26 and I didn't understand why, until it was done and I saw that it now had a different set of default variants. Another time a dependency was unexpectedly built that I thought I had already installed, but it turned out I had installed it in a different MacPorts prefix. Still, if MacPorts had told me why it was doing what it was doing, it might've been clearer to me what was going on. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/26853#comment:1> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
