#51689: preserve_runtime_libraries convenience PortGroup --------------------------+-------------------------------- Reporter: rjvbertin@… | Owner: macports-tickets@… Type: submission | Status: closed Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: contrib | Version: Resolution: wontfix | Keywords: Port: | --------------------------+-------------------------------- Changes (by ryandesign@…): * status: new => closed * resolution: => wontfix Comment: We've already solved this problem: whenever a port is updated in such a way that one of its libraries changes its install_name (including changing its major version), the person who updates that port shall also revbump all ports linking with that library so that they get rebuilt. Yes, binary packages may take some time for our buildbot to compile, or may not be available in all situations so users may need to compile the upgrades on their own systems. I realize you don't like this solution, but it's the one we've chosen for now. You're welcome to discuss it on the mailing list, but your proposed portgroup in this ticket is unlikely to be an acceptable solution. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/51689#comment:3> MacPorts <https://www.macports.org/> Ports system for macOS
