#34477: cloog depends on isl but cloog and isl conflict -------------------------------------+-------------------------------------- Reporter: ryandesign@… | Owner: macports-tickets@… Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 2.1.0 Keywords: | Port: cloog isl -------------------------------------+-------------------------------------- Comment(by ryandesign@…): Forcing the activation doesn't ''fix'' anything, it just overwrites one port's files with another's, which is seldom a good thing to do. To be clear: my currently-installed cloog @0.16.3_1+universal is not being shown as outdated. If the intention is that cloog should depend on and use the isl port's files, then that is not currently happening, and a fix in the cloog port is needed. Yes, you can automate the unusual occurrence where files that were provided by a previous version of a port are now provided by a dependency. If there were a new revision/version of cloog that used isl's files and did not itself install the isl files, then the isl port would need to be modified to deactivate the existing cloog port to allow the upgrade to occur smoothly. We call this the "deactivate hack" and it's been used in several ports before. See the pre-activate block in the simutrans-pak64 subport of the simutrans Portfile for an example. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/34477#comment:6> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
