#41600: bison: update to 3.0.2 ------------------------------+---------------------- Reporter: akim.demaille@… | Owner: larryv@… Type: update | Status: assigned Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: Resolution: | Keywords: haspatch Port: bison | ------------------------------+---------------------- Comment (by akim.demaille@…): Replying to [comment:41 rjvbertin@…]:

Note though that HFS+ can handle compression, and there is already a patch to portimage.tcl that causes the install (activation) of a port to be done using hfs compression.

I was unaware of the feature.

As to installing the ChangeLog et al.: that doesn't appear to be standard with MacPorts. I was under the impression that you added them to comply with FOSS guidelines and how things are done on Linux. Maybe the official port maintainer had the same impression, maybe it's he who decided to do this.

ChangeLog, imho, is completely useless: it is a compilation of the commit messages, so it's really for people who want to contribute to the sources of Bison. NEWS, on the other hand, is part of the documentation: it tell users about the new features, and possible compatibility issues.

...

I can live with the documentation not being installed by default (in which case it should be the same for the examples: they also belong to +doc).

I'll leave this up to the official port maintainer to decide, as with the ChangeLog etc. thing.

Sure. Thanks! -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/41600#comment:42> MacPorts <https://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X
