#45353: base - git and mercurial fetching target directory --------------------------+---------------------------- Reporter: and.damore@… | Owner: macports-dev@… Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: base | Version: 2.3.1 Keywords: base | Port: --------------------------+---------------------------- Portfetch supports five types of VCS: bazaar, CVS, subversion, mercurial and git. Fetch procedures portfetch::gitfetch and portfetch::hgfetch clone the remote repository into a directory whose name depends on ''$worksrcpath'' This means that if a portfile author sets ''worksrcdir'' to ''${distname}/src/'' because the repository contains its source files in a subdirectory called ''src/'', then the repository itself gets cloned as ''${distname}/src'' and the actual source files will be stored at ''${distname}/src/src''. This isn't the expected behavior. I'm patching portfetch::gitfetch and portfetch::hgfetch so they'll clone the repository to what would have been the default worksrcdir. This way setting ''worksrcdir'' to ''${distname}/src'' correctly execute the phases in ''${worksrcpath}''. This can potentially break ports with augmented phases that are already coping with the previous wrong behavior, I'll do a check in dports tree to see if there are any of those before committing. Meanwhile any comment is appreciated. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/45353> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X
