#14799: reduce 'port lint' pedantry ---------------------------------+------------------------------------------ Reporter: ricci@macports.org | Owner: jmpp@macports.org Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: MacPorts base bugs Component: base | Version: 1.7.0 Resolution: | Keywords: ---------------------------------+------------------------------------------ Changes (by jmpp@macports.org): * component: ports => base Comment: As I said in my latest post to the dev list, we should: "not advise on patchfile naming in any way (either if that's patch-*.diff, patch-*, *.diff or *.patch) at the lint level. From the very beginning this was only a suggestion that most of us agreed on, so we can still keep it in the guide and elsewhere as such, a suggestion; but it was just that, a suggestion, so I really don't think we have any business annoying a maintainer who, after reading the guide and what-not, has still chosen to name his patches in whatever other way. So my take on this particular issue is that we should remove all patch naming checks from lint, and as a direct result any [file exists foo] checks, which would instantly resolve Bill's comments here." So lets wait a little while in case I have to deal with any flames on the list, but otherwise I'd consider the non-recursive nature of the checkouts and no resulting access to patchfiles a non-issue. -jmpp -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.macosforge.org/projects/macports/ticket/14799#comment:6> MacPorts </projects/macports> Ports system for Mac OS
