#16085: port deactivates then activates active dependency if more than one "latest" version of a port is installed -------------------------------------+-------------------------------------- Reporter: ryandesign@… | Owner: macports-tickets@… Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: MacPorts 1.7.1 Component: base | Version: 1.7.0 Keywords: | Port: -------------------------------------+-------------------------------------- Changes (by blb@…): * cc: blb@… (added) Comment: port should always be preferring the latest it can use, so in the case of {{{ lcms @1.16_0 (active) lcms @1.16_0+universal lcms @1.17_0 lcms @1.17_0+universal }}} it makes sense to activate 1.17, but what algorithm would be used to choose the one without variants vs. +universal? The one with the fewest? Also, what about {{{ portname @1.2.3_0+foo portname @1.2.3_0+bar }}} which should be activated? -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.macports.org/ticket/16085#comment:7> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
