#35867: libarchive: update to 3.x ---------------------------+---------------------- Reporter: ryandesign@… | Owner: toby@… Type: update | Status: assigned Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: Resolution: | Keywords: Port: libarchive | ---------------------------+---------------------- Comment (by mfeiri@…): When talking about binary compatibility you are thinking of something like rev bumping all dependents, e.g. as in http://trac.macports.org/changeset/69520 for openssl 0.9.8->1.0.0, right? AFAIK the new 'rev-upgrade' action in MacPorts 2.1 should handle this automatically. It "... checks for and rebuilds ports that may have become incorrectly linked when a dependency was upgraded to a new, binary- incompatible version. This runs automatically after upgrades and installs ...", see http://trac.macports.org/browser/trunk/base/NEWS and https://trac.macports.org/wiki/SummerOfCode2011#rev-upgrade There is a small chance that some ports are not API compatible with version 3 of libarchive. A quick grep through the dports hierarchy reveals just 5 ports (hydrogen, elftoolchain, gvfs, epic5, ark) that actually depend on libarchive. Verifying that these 5 ports still build/work properly after the patch in #38164 is applied should be all we need. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/35867#comment:3> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS

Increasing revisions when library versions change is still the correct solution. Just think what would happen if we didn't: users might get a binary from our packages server which rev-upgrade would immediately declare broken and have to rebuild. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/35867#comment:6> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
