#51799: add a concept of 'distributions' for ports that work on specific older architectures -------------------------------------+-------------------------------- Reporter: kenneth.f.cunningham@… | Owner: macports-tickets@… Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: base | Version: 2.3.4 Resolution: | Keywords: Port: | -------------------------------------+-------------------------------- Comment (by kenneth.f.cunningham@…): Ok, success. I can confirm this works just exactly as you would expect. The older port revision, in the local portfile repository, supersedes the newer revision in the up-to-date repository. The older qt4-mac port is not flagged for updating after a selfupdate, and appears pinned at that revision, as hoped. The old source file locations are not always correct, so there's one hiccup to ponder. Just had to download it manually. Will probably have to store those somewhere. And there may be some ports that have no older revision that works on - say - Tiger, so they should just be made to disappear somehow (or at least flag as not installable). I can see how that might be done. So this somewhat odd and perhaps not-that-useful-to-anyone-but-me project can be done without any significant macports changes. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/51799#comment:5> MacPorts <https://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X
