#32516: Remove macfuse port --------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: anatol.pomozov@… | Owner: dports@… Type: defect | Status: assigned Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 2.0.3 Keywords: | Port: macfuse --------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Changes (by dports@…): * owner: macports-tickets@… => dports@… * status: new => assigned Comment: I'm not sure we want to do this. As you point out, it would be an ABI compatibility-breaking change. That's hardly a showstopper, but I'd rather not do it in this case without a good reason. In particular, people may have filesystems built by hand (i.e. not with MacPorts) and linked against libfuse, and forcing them to needlessly recompile would be undesirable. I don't see a very compelling reason to do this as we've already changed the default dependencies for fuse filesystems to fuse4x. So we're gradually migrating; new installations are almost certainly using fuse4x, especially on Lion. That means that anyone who has macfuse installed either explicitly requested it or has had it installed (and presumably working) for a while. In either case, it's not clear to me that they'd necessarily benefit from being migrated to fuse4x. (The obvious answer to this is 64-bit kernel support, but that's unlikely to be an issue for existing installations as the macfuse port refuses to build on a 64-bit kernel system.) -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/32516#comment:4> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
