#17473: RFE: allow Portfile to upgrade dependents -----------------------------------+---------------------------------------- Reporter: mcalhoun@… | Owner: macports-tickets@… Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: MacPorts base enhancements Component: base | Version: Keywords: | Port: -----------------------------------+---------------------------------------- Changes (by blb@…): * cc: blb@… (added) Comment: Is macports.tcl.diff against an old version, it's 230 lines off against trunk? So the usage on this would be (using perl5), when it gets version set to 5.10.0 (or whatever at the time it happens), then poison_version would also be set to that, correct? And for future 5.10.x updates, it'd be left at the same 5.10.0 as originally set so slower upgraders coming from 5.8.x would still have the right thing happen? Being left at 5.10.0 until a (hypothetical) 5.12.0 is released, then updating to 5.12.0. Then it becomes like epoch, once added it can never be removed. -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.macports.org/ticket/17473#comment:4> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
