#47255: making port:xz optionally independent of other ports --------------------------+-------------------------- Reporter: rjvbertin@… | Owner: ryandesign@… Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: Resolution: | Keywords: haspatch Port: xz | --------------------------+-------------------------- Comment (by rjvbertin@…): Replying to [comment:4 ryandesign@…]:
I agree that I don't want to add this variant and that I would rather work on getting an xz compressor/decompressor bundled with base. The hard work for that was already done when we started bundling tcl; I think adding more bundled software at this point would be easy. The question is which software.
Is there a reason not to change the order of operations as I outlined? That would (should...) remove the need to bundle more things with base. I think that someone willing to figure out how to select xz for the software archives also won't have any problems installing port:xz or any of its alternatives. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/47255#comment:6> MacPorts <https://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X
