#20556: Port should ask before performing time consuming or complex operations ---------------------------+------------------------------------------------ Reporter: nick@… | Owner: macports-tickets@… Type: defect | Status: closed Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: base | Version: 1.7.1 Resolution: worksforme | Keywords: Port: | ---------------------------+------------------------------------------------ Comment(by nick@…): It's very kind of you to respond so quickly and courteously to my somewhat flamey message!
By default, Macports installs to the /opt/local directory, and keeps *everything* it does in that directory,
Wow. That sounds ... very difficult to arrange for. Everything must need to be recompiled with totally different options. Perhaps that's why it was installing new versions of stuff I already had (like perl) ... because it wanted its *own* version? -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.macports.org/ticket/20556#comment:3> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
