#44418: p5-sgmlspm: fix installation -------------------------+----------------------------- Reporter: mojca@… | Owner: tlockhart1976@… Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: Resolution: | Keywords: Port: p5-sgmlspm | -------------------------+----------------------------- Comment (by tlockhart1976@…): Replying to [comment:13 ryandesign@…]:
Don't add a conflicts line; instead, fix it so they don't conflict. The portfile is following the convention supported by the distro. The more we change or augment the distro the more we increase the maintenance costs. And since this is a foundational package used directly or indirectly by several other packages a change in the name of the executable (for example) may ripple strongly into the packaging of the ports for those too. I would suggest that for now we develop an update to the portfile to catch conflicts (since those already cause an installation failure but without a helpful message from the port system), and then re- evaluate. I'll point out that I did not introduce this port, but volunteered to freshen it up as part of overall SGML and XML support. Comments?
