#48396: demeter @0.9.21: missing dependency on p5.*-math-round ---------------------------------+-------------------------- Reporter: cjmilne+macports@… | Owner: joe.fowler@… Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 2.3.3 Resolution: | Keywords: Port: demeter | ---------------------------------+-------------------------- Comment (by ionic@…): In the end, that's personal preference of the port maintainer(s). "Some time ago" (years, actually) `glib2` and `glib2-devel` diverged in such a way, that `glib2` was more recent than `glib2-devel`. I made a request at the port maintainer and asked him to at least keep the versions synchronized, if there's currently no new development version available, instead of letting the `-devel` port go stale and be older than the normal port, because people generally install `-devel` ports as they want to use newer versions. Being left "behind" is not something I would expect from a `-devel` port. He initially dismissed the request, but came around later and since tries to sync them up, AFAIK. For me, everything is fine, as long as the `-devel` version is greater or equal the "normal" one. That said, there's no official rule for that, so it's merely my preference. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/48396#comment:7> MacPorts <https://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X
