#33259: cmake portgroup: out of source build option, possibly by default ---------------------------+-------------------------------- Reporter: ryandesign@… | Owner: macports-tickets@… Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: Resolution: | Keywords: Port: | ---------------------------+-------------------------------- Comment (by larryv@…): Replying to [comment:31 mojca@…]:

The only thing I'm not sure about is whether the default for the option should be `yes` or `no`. We can do a bold move and then quickly fix whatever port breaks.

I’m with Michael on this. We should not risk breaking ports intentionally.

Or we could be on the safe side, but then have a lot more work to do (setting the value to `yes` in every port, switch the default once all the ports are tested, then remove the option from all the ports again).

Or we could actually make use of the portgroup version number. With a `cmake-1.1` portgroup that enables out-of-source builds by default, we’d still have to migrate ports one at a time, but we’d need just one pass to update the `PortGroup` command and remove obsolete workarounds. I have this set up locally, and it seems to work fine. I’d like to commit it this week if no one has any objections to this migration strategy. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/33259#comment:44> MacPorts <https://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X
