#26585: Intelligent upgrade ---------------------------------+------------------------------------------ Reporter: tommyd@… | Owner: macports-tickets@… Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: base | Version: 1.9.1 Keywords: | Port: p5-io-compress-zlib ---------------------------------+------------------------------------------ Comment(by tommyd@…): I'll probably still have it in the backlog at home, so stay tuned. Since the current upgrade procedure is rather messy (also wrt Perl ports which need to be reinstalled when a new version of Perl is installed and also because I stumbled upon similar problems during the OpenSSL / Subversion upgrade) I probably just remove the mess I created with the last port upgrade and install MP and all ports from scratch. I need a working system after all... It would be absolutely tremendous to have something like apt-get, yum or zypper for MacPorts wrt version detection and dependency resolution during upgrade and installation, but unfortunately this seems to be very way down the road. I know patches are accepted, but I don't have the knowledge nor the time to hack on this myself in tcl. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/26585#comment:10> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
