#25075: postflight script sometimes overwrites conf files ------------------------------+--------------------------------------------- Reporter: brad@… | Owner: macports-tickets@… Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: base | Version: Keywords: | Port: ------------------------------+--------------------------------------------- Comment(by brad@…): Replying to [comment:7 brad@…]:
In postflight the update_macports function tries "port -v selfupdate" and then upgrade_sources_conf_default.tcl. Since selfupdate fails without a [default] port source why not call the script upgrade_sources_conf_default.tcl which attempts to fix missing default before "port -v selfupdate"? Nevermind. My selfupdate was failing with permission errors not because of no default. I see port selfupdate uses last source as default when there is no default in sources.conf.
