#50094: new ports: kf5-{libkomparediff2,kompare} -------------------------+-------------------------------- Reporter: rjvbertin@… | Owner: macports-tickets@… Type: submission | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: Keywords: | Port: -------------------------+-------------------------------- This is a submission for ports for the KF5 version of kompare and libkomparediff2, i.e. the current versions. Changing the KDE4 versions so they can co-exist with their KF5 versions turns out tricky. For now I have made the ports conflicting unless a variant is set that removes the conflicting components, leaving only the runtime components. I was hoping for something a bit more elegant, but this ought to do for those who insist on having both installed, say for comparison purposes or because of dependencies on libkomparediff2 . I may decide to propose using a dedicated prefix (${prefix}/libexec/kde4-legacy) where KDE4 ports that conflict with their KF5 counterparts can be moved. KF5 clearly has the attitude that it replaces KDE4, keeping KDE4 compatibility only so not-yet-ported software can run under a KF5 "Plasma" desktop. Given the lack of maturity in many KF5 applications I'd really prefer to keep giving users the choice of keeping KDE4 versions around in addition to installing the newer KF5 versions which are the ones that get the new features. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/50094> MacPorts <https://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X
