#31009: port command in a p5-* directory no longer works ----------------------------------+----------------------------------------- Reporter: vinc17@… | Owner: macports-tickets@… Type: enhancement | Status: reopened Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: base | Version: 2.0.1 Resolution: | Keywords: Port: | ----------------------------------+----------------------------------------- Changes (by vinc17@…): * status: closed => reopened * type: defect => enhancement * resolution: invalid => Comment: I think you missed the point. The goal is that the user can modify the Portfile file (e.g. for testing) and doesn't need to choose the subport. MacPorts should do it for him if the user has typed "port destroot" only. Since building the stub itself is quite useless, one wouldn't lose any feature. And IMHO, MacPorts should never install a port using the modified Portfile if the user hasn't requested it explicitly. What I mean here is that "port build" in a p5-xml-libxslt directory currently has the effect to install and activate the p5.12-xml-libxslt subport (at least on my machine), which is quite an unexpected behavior (upgrading the other dependencies is OK, as they shouldn't have a modified Portfile). -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/31009#comment:3> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
