#44719: Add port cantera -------------------------+-------------------------------- Reporter: macports@… | Owner: macports-tickets@… Type: submission | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 2.3.1 Resolution: | Keywords: Port: cantera | -------------------------+-------------------------------- Comment (by larryv@…): Replying to [comment:14 macports@…]:
I assume that the curly braces only make a difference if you use compounds like ${python.version}. Also, $prefix without curly braces is often used in the MacPorts Guide.
Braces are required if the name of the scalar variable contains any character that isn’t a letter, digit, underscore, or Tcl namespace separator (two or more consecutive colons). More to the point, our current style is to always use the braces in Portfiles, for consistency. Some of us also think it’s more readable. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/44719#comment:15> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X
