#19004: Sticky versions? --------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: macports@… | Owner: macports-tickets@… Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: MacPorts 1.7.1 Component: ports | Version: 1.7.0 Keywords: | Port: --------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Comment(by mcalhoun@…): Replying to [comment:3 macports@…]:
I'm using Subversive since it's hosted by Eclipse, but it only supports Subversion 1.5. Anyway, I'll look at the local repository solution. It looks kinda overkill, though... Granted, it may not be ideal, but sticky versions are a little dangerous in and of themselves.[[BR]] Portfiles maintainers rely on the fact that they know exactly how the other ports are installed (at least if the user is fully upgraded).[[BR]] If you take that away with sticky versions, then maintenance becomes much harder.[[BR]] I would vote against such a change.
I keep a local repository myself, so please let me know if you run into any problems. -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.macports.org/ticket/19004#comment:4> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
