#46143: octave-time has been merged into octave-financial -----------------------------+-------------------------------- Reporter: mschamschula@… | Owner: macports-tickets@… Type: update | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 2.3.3 Resolution: | Keywords: haspatch Port: octave-time | -----------------------------+-------------------------------- Comment (by ryandesign@…): The error message you're having the port print in the pre-configure block says the port is replaced by octave-miscellaneous, but it's actually replaced by octave-financial. Probably a copy/paste error, but it illustrates the pitfalls of repeating information in a portfile. For values that are used more than once in a portfile, define the value only once, in a variable, then use that variable anywhere else it's needed. In this case, the variable is `${replaced_by}`. Or use the `obsolete 1.0` portgroup to simplify the port and also avoid this problem. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/46143#comment:1> MacPorts <https://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X

I had to add a pre-fetch error message. I presume that something in the octave PortGroup is causing this. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/46143#comment:4> MacPorts <https://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X
