#17182: Variables aren't expanded in path:-style dependencies -------------------------------------+-------------------------------------- Reporter: ryandesign@… | Owner: macports-tickets@… Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: MacPorts base bugs Component: base | Version: 1.6.0 Keywords: | Port: -------------------------------------+-------------------------------------- Comment(by ryandesign@…): Replying to [comment:12 mcalhoun@…]:
Making the change seems to have changed the \${prefix} to ${prefix} in a test Portindex file. But then you're just setting ${prefix} to itself. Why is there code that goes to the trouble of saving the prefix, setting it to a backslashed version of the prefix, and restoring it later? That code was added in r14567. We would first need to fully understand why it was added then, to understand whether we can safely remove it now. Cc'ing Paul, who committed that revision.
