#22087: update pymol with gcc43 and gcc44 variants --------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: adfernandes@… | Owner: howarth@… Type: update | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 1.8.1 Keywords: | Port: pymol --------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Comment(by adfernandes@…): Well, personally, I'm all for using the lastest-and-greatest compiler... except when doing so breaks my codebase or forces me to recompile a zillion dependencies. A forced upgrade on boost, qt4, and kde4 will generate enough heat to keep Moscow warm all winter! :-) But... choice in compiler is one of the features `[sic]` of MacPorts. I'm not a core developer, just a heavy user, and really don't want to get into (what I suspect) is a religious war. Sometimes I feel like I have spent 1/2 my life waiting for Gentoo to recompile my whole distro... and then the other 1/2 is waiting for Ubuntu or Fedora to update their packages because I need a build-option that they didn't include... :-) BTW - my default compiler (10.5.8) is still 4.0; I suspect you're on SL if your ''default'' compiler is 4.2. There are definitely optimizer changes between those two. Anyway - since you've taken over the port completely, I need your approval to commit. So - three questions: 1. Can I commit the patch, so as per current MacPorts tao people can select their compiler? 2. Do you want me to add `openmaintainer` to the port so that you don't need to be bothered with trivial updates? MacPorts policy allows commits without maintainer approval for '''trivial''' changes only; big changes require maintainer approval still. 3. Are you adding the `[[BR]]` tags to the trac entries on purpose? I'd request you not do that; it makes the email summaries really hard to read! Thanks, -Andrew. -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.macports.org/ticket/22087#comment:5> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
