#41048: valgrind and mavericks -----------------------+---------------------- Reporter: ak@… | Owner: raimue@… Type: defect | Status: closed Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 2.2.0 Resolution: invalid | Keywords: Port: valgrind | -----------------------+---------------------- Comment (by raimue@…): This ticket is invalid because the original reporter failed to articulate any problem. Yes, the upstream release of valgrind is not supported on OS X 10.9 Mavericks. That is properly addressed by prohibiting the installation of this port on this particular platform. If the hidden intention of this ticket was to actually get valgrind to work on OS X 10.9 Mavericks, then that needs to be fixed upstream as MacPorts merely packages what upstream provides. Furthermore, such a request filed against valgrind is definitely invalid, as the valgrind port tracks the stable version as released by upstream. There is also a valgrind-devel port which tracks the upstream version control system with irregular updates (e.g. tested snspshots with significant fixes or new features). The patch provided in the upstream bug report has not even landed in the upstream version control system yet. Taking patches from a bug tracker that did not get proper review from the upstream developers sounds like a bad idea, as it is still a moving target. Other software management tools like Homebrew might have a different policy for this matter, but that is not something that influences the work done by MacPorts. As soon as this lands in upstream version control I will happily update the valgrind-devel port. If I miss that, please open a new ticket against valgrind-devel and request an update of that port. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/41048#comment:11> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X
