#47198: Please add missing binaries to mongodb 3.x series. ------------------------+-------------------------- Reporter: richard@… | Owner: ryandesign@… Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 2.3.3 Resolution: | Keywords: Port: mongodb | ------------------------+-------------------------- Changes (by ryandesign@…): * cc: geoff@… (added) Comment: Replying to [comment:5 geoff@…]:
Because the macports version of mongo3 was missing the essential files mentioned, I went to the MongoDB standard download (.tgz) and installed that instead. I don't know what is meant by "we install everything the developers of mongodb intend us to install," because their standard .tgz download includes all these things.
It means: all we do in the MacPorts mongodb portfile is download the source, run `scons all mongobridge mongosniff` to build it, and then run `scons install` to install it, and then we manually install mongobridge because `scons install` doesn't do that. This has not changed between mongodb 2 and 3. What has changed is that the developers of mongodb have changed what happens when `scons all mongobridge mongosniff` and `scons install` are run. If you believe the developers of mongodb should not have changed that, then you'll need to discuss that with the developers of mongodb; it was not our decision; we were not consulted.

Whats the process for adding a new port for the tools ? https://github.com/mongodb/mongo-tools
I will investigate. Thanks for giving me the URL; I had not yet gotten around to discovering where they had moved the tools. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/47198#comment:7> MacPorts <https://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X
