Maybe it shouldn't even be in the tree, but rather live in base/portmgr. While this proposed patch is a nice experiment on how MacPorts might become self-contained, I don't think this is something that should be done right now and offered to end-users. At the moment, we do not have any fallbacks in case one of the dependencies breaks due to bad linking. What exactly is the intent of this? It only seems to replace the binaries called by MacPorts and does not cover libraries linked to Pextlib or the registry (curl and sqlite3). -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/37923#comment:3> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS

#37923: MacPorts: add variant to use MacPorts ports as dependencies --------------------------+-------------------------------- Reporter: egall@… | Owner: macports-tickets@… Type: enhancement | Status: closed Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 2.1.2 Resolution: wontfix | Keywords: haspatch Port: MacPorts | --------------------------+-------------------------------- Changes (by ryandesign@…): * cc: ryandesign@… (added) * status: new => closed * type: submission => enhancement * resolution: => wontfix Comment: I really don't think we want any such patch, since the only reason this port exists is so that we can create installer packages of new versions of MacPorts (no user should ever install the MacPorts port directly), and in the installer packages, the MacPorts installation must be self-contained; it cannot be linked with MacPorts-provided libraries that most users who install the disk image won't already have installed. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/37923#comment:5> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
