#18602: Prevent MacPorts from being configured with --prefix=/usr/local --------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: ryandesign@… | Owner: macports-tickets@… Type: defect | Status: reopened Priority: Normal | Milestone: MacPorts 1.8.0 Component: base | Version: 1.7.0 Resolution: | Keywords: Port: | --------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Changes (by macports@…): * status: closed => reopened * resolution: fixed => Comment: You mean broken 15 months ago! Seriously, blocking a viable and used option is pretty damn retarded when you could print a warning during the configure process if you are that concerned. By your logic, you should add /System, /Library, /System/Library, /var, /usr, /bin, /sbin, /etc, /usr/bin, and a whole host of others to the blocklist because I just might decide to get crazy and shoot myself in the foot by setting any of those for the prefix. Better yet, just remove --prefix and hardcode it to install into /opt/local/macports/is/da/friggin/bomb/bitches and then you know it can't conflict with anything! I'm sure the users would love not having a choice because choices are hard, durrrr. P.S. You've wasted my time by making me backout this patch every time I update so I have no problem wasting your time by reopening a ticket to let you know how hard you suck. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/18602#comment:4> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
