#18602: Prevent MacPorts from being configured with --prefix=/usr/local --------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: ryandesign@… | Owner: macports-tickets@… Type: defect | Status: closed Priority: Normal | Milestone: MacPorts 1.8.0 Component: base | Version: 1.7.0 Resolution: fixed | Keywords: Port: | --------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Comment(by jmr@…): The reasons why we don't default to installing in /usr/local are covered in the FAQ. I don't recall any reason being given for disabling it entirely beyond it breaking macfuse. I pointed out to blb at the time that there might be users with a legitimate reason to use it, and he responded that we could relax the restriction if anyone complained, by adding a --i -understand-that-usr-local-is-unsupported configure option or whatever. So, now someone has complained (for the first time as far as I'm aware). -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/18602#comment:6> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
