#15937: port deactivate is a bit blood-thirsty (acts like it would delete /) ---------------------------------+------------------------------------------ Reporter: stephen@xemacs.org | Owner: macports-tickets@lists.macosforge.org Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: MacPorts base bugs Component: base | Version: 1.7.0 Resolution: | Keywords: ---------------------------------+------------------------------------------ Changes (by raimue@macports.org): * cc: raimue@macports.org (added) Comment: I did not look at the code yet, but we do not prevent files being installed anywhere outside the prefix. port only issues a warning if this happens. Also, some files reside intentionally in `/Applications` and `/Library`, so I assume stopping at ${prefix} would not deactivate them correctly. I would say port deactivate should only prune empty directories if it is in our mtree. -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.macports.org/ticket/15937#comment:3> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
