#49231: OpenBLAS and OpenBLAS-devel: unify into one Portfile with subport ---------------------------------------+---------------------- Reporter: dstrubbe@… | Owner: nicos@… Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 2.3.4 Resolution: | Keywords: haspatch Port: OpenBLAS, OpenBLAS-devel | ---------------------------------------+---------------------- Comment (by sean@…): Replying to [comment:1 nicos@…]:
I understand the motivation, but the two ports are gradually becoming more different with time, as OpenBLAS is not releasing new versions very often, while several enhancements have been pushed to the repository. This implies that while *-devel is being updated often, bugfixes have to be included in the standard release. I am afraid that having the two of them in the same file could increase the risk of mistakes.
Furthermore, having the two ports separate in a case like this is, at least to my knowledge, standard practice within Macports.
I would disagree. There is so much code duplication between the two portfiles that it definitely makes sense to combine them. The patches and backports are trivial to separate. Please reconsider. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/49231#comment:2> MacPorts <https://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X
