#36524: gtk-doc Problem w/Checksum Length Change @ MacPorts 2.1.0 ----------------------------+-------------------------------- Reporter: daiyu.hurst@… | Owner: macports-tickets@… Type: defect | Status: reopened Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 2.1.0 Resolution: | Keywords: Port: gtk-doc | ----------------------------+-------------------------------- Changes (by daiyu.hurst@…): * status: closed => reopened * resolution: invalid => Comment: After upgrading from v2.0.4 to v2.1.2, I get something similar to what you see in the attached screen output for each port I try to install; the failure shown is from an attempt to install the gtk-doc port (it dies trying to install the first dependent port, xmlcatmgr-2.2). It looks like up through MacPorts 2.0.4 the checksums are 32-bit, and become 64-bit beginning with v2.1.0 and continuing with v2.1.2? At least as you can see the checksums shown in the portfiles are twice as long as the ones in the distfiles. I did a sync just before the install attempt. I will mention I'm running plain Darwin x86 8.01, and thus lacking Xcode I can't do selfupdate, and so I've bootstrapped MacPorts releases from: 1.6.0 -> 1.8.2 -> 1.9.2 -> 2.0.3 -> 2.0.4 -> 2.1.0 This having been the second time I've installed Darwin on this box and bootstrapped my way to this problem, I made a point to create a backup of the registry so that I will be able to drop back to 2.0.4 again. I'd performed the upgrade from 2.04 to 2.1.2 after receiving this error when trying to install the gtk-doc port using 2.0.4: ---> Computing dependencies for gtk-doc.Error: Unable to execute port: invalid command name "compiler.blacklist" So installing 2.1.0 previously, and 2.1.2 this time around, got rid of the aforementioned error, but results in this checksum semi-mismatch. Lastly, I'm aware there's not much collective will to assist the dozen or so of us plain (I will not use the term "pure") Darwin users; I do in fact have an iMac with Tiger on it, but it was a gift, I don't have the install disks, and don't wish to clutter it with development software. And I can't use it for the target application (not a program, just a use); the iMac lacks USB 2.0 ports, and what I'm doing really needs them, and this Celery-based PC has them. Even as it is, I find MacPorts a great time-saver, and I'm happy you folks have spent so much time on it. Thanks in advance for any and all help.... -dh -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/36524#comment:6> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
