#27747: readline-5: let to install libreadline.dylib (allow linking from GPLv2 programs) ----------------------------------+----------------------------------------- Reporter: kimuraw@… | Owner: macports-tickets@… Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 1.9.2 Keywords: | Port: readline-5 ----------------------------------+----------------------------------------- Comment(by jmr@…): Technically you just can't distribute the result of linking GPL2-only code with GPL3-only; it's fine to create and use it. Regarding the patch, you probably want to do something about the {{{-arch_only `/usr/bin/arch`}}} in the SHLIB_XLDFLAGS, as that often won't match build_arch/universal_archs. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/27747#comment:1> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS

Joshua, the port seems to build fine for universal and for non-default-build_arch as supplied; I'm not sure what the `-arch-only` flag does. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/27747#comment:3> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS

It was added in r8080, over 6 years ago, "for ports requiring it"; if none do, it has outlived its purpose. It also claims "It provides [...] the dynamic libraries"; since it does not in fact provide the dynamic libraries, that's not useful either. We should either fix readline-4 or delete it. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/27747#comment:7> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS

But as Joshua said, there is no license incompatibility as long as we're just building from source and not distributing binaries. I also don't think we've made any attempt to handle license incompatibilities in any of our other ports. :/ -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/27747#comment:9> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
