#26853: MacPorts should say why it is (re)installing a dependency -------------------------------------+-------------------------------------- Reporter: ryandesign@… | Owner: macports-tickets@… Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: base | Version: 1.9.1 Keywords: | Port: -------------------------------------+-------------------------------------- There are now several reasons why MacPorts might build or rebuild a dependency: * it is not installed * it is outdated * it has the wrong variants * it has the wrong architectures * perhaps other reasons? Several times now I have noticed MacPorts rebuilding a dependency though as far as I can tell it is already installed, with the right version, with the right variants, with the right architectures. It would be nice to know why MacPorts thinks it needs to be rebuilt. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/26853> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
