#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 cal@…): I'd rather shorten the option name to `cmake.out_of_source` and use `yes` and `no` over `true` and `false` like we usually do. Your code only allows `true`, which is bad, because maintainers will try to set it to `yes` or `1`. Also, I'd rather modify the defaults than change the actual values when `cmake.out_of_source yes` is encountered in a Portfile. That would make {{{ configure.dir ${worksrcpath}/foo cmake.out_of_source yes }}} work correctly. It's not obvious which side effects assigning to out_of_source has, otherwise. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/33259#comment:21> MacPorts <https://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X
