#29575: ethereal: delete port -------------------------------------+-------------------------------------- Reporter: ryandesign@… | Owner: opendarwin.org@… Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: Keywords: | Port: ethereal -------------------------------------+-------------------------------------- Comment(by ryandesign@…): If the `replaced_by` feature had existed 3 years ago when ethereal was retired, that would have been the ideal choice. As it is, in r19872, a `ui_msg` was added to alert users the port is obsolete. In r34052 this was made into a fatal error, preventing users from installing the port at all. In r46912 and r69520 the port's revision was increased, so for 2 years already, anyone who had ethereal 0.99.0_1 installed would have been prompted that the port is outdated, and trying to upgrade it would have printed the error message and exited, advising the user to use wireshark instead. This has served the purpose that `replaced_by` would have, and I think we can just delete ethereal without further ado. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/29575#comment:2> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
