#18302: MacPorts doesn't recreate manpage symlink after compressing manpage if symlink is absolute -------------------------------------+-------------------------------------- Reporter: ryandesign@… | Owner: macports-tickets@… Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: MacPorts 1.8.0 Component: base | Version: 1.7.0 Keywords: | Port: -------------------------------------+-------------------------------------- Comment(by perry@…): From my brief testing, prefixing the destroot path to the absolute path is not what you want; you end up with symlinks referencing paths in destroot. Instead, I tried converting the absolute symlinks to relative symlinks, which as far as I can tell (at least from the listed examples and the following lines in portdestroot.tcl) is simply the file name: {{{ 231 set mandir [file dirname $manlink] 232 set mandirpath [file join $manpath $mandir] 233 set pwd [pwd] 234 if {[catch {_cd $mandirpath} err]} { 235 puts $err 236 return 237 } }}} I've gone ahead and committed this possible fix in r47111 (it fixes #18227 at least). -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.macports.org/ticket/18302#comment:1> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
