#49564: xemacs on El Capitan ----------------------------------+-------------------------------- Reporter: burkhard.militzer@… | Owner: macports-tickets@… Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 2.3.4 Resolution: | Keywords: Port: xemacs | ----------------------------------+-------------------------------- Comment (by dstrubbe@…):
What is the purpose of this symlink anyway? I checked, the situation was the same for version 21.4.22, i.e. the file linked to itself. Are you sure the way you listed is how it is supposed to be linked?
The link points to a large number of additional packages. Without those xemacs is not useful (to me at least).
I am not questioning whether we need to have the link, the question is: what is it supposed to be pointing at? To put another way, the offending line is below; what should it be changed to? {{{ system "cd ${destroot}${prefix}/lib && ln -s xemacs-${version} xemacs" }}} As I wrote before, if you think the current situation is broken, it seems it was broken for 21.4.22 also.
