#18602: Prevent MacPorts from being configured with --prefix=/usr/local --------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: ryandesign@… | Owner: macports-tickets@… Type: defect | Status: closed Priority: Normal | Milestone: MacPorts 1.8.0 Component: base | Version: 1.7.0 Resolution: fixed | Keywords: Port: | --------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Changes (by ryandesign@…): * cc: macports@… (added) * status: reopened => closed * resolution: => fixed Comment: We do not have the resources to support every user's whim, and the whim of setting the MacPorts prefix to /usr/local is one that is fraught with peril and a high degree of probability that users will encounter unique problems that they will then write to us for help with that we will then waste time dealing with. We don't want to waste time on that, so we disabled this ability. If you have comments about this decision, please write to macports-users; do not re-open tickets fixed 15 months ago. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/18602#comment:3> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
