[MacPorts] #21540: Show dependencies on install prior to installing them
#21540: Show dependencies on install prior to installing them ----------------------------------+----------------------------------------- Reporter: imgroxx@… | Owner: macports-tickets@… Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 1.8.0 Keywords: dependencies install | Port: ----------------------------------+----------------------------------------- It strikes me as odd that, though the dependencies are apparently known immediately after "Computing dependencies for <port>", they are shown only individually as they are installed or in a large list if an install fails. I'd request that a list be shown once dependencies are calculated, defaulting to what needs to be installed, and with the option to show all dependencies, so the user can cancel / pre-empt / have some rudimentary progress notification without interrupting the process. Though non- progress-related uses are limited, they can certainly exist. -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.macports.org/ticket/21540> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS

#21540: Show dependencies on install prior to installing them -------------------------------+-------------------------------------------- Reporter: imgroxx@… | Owner: macports-tickets@… Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: MacPorts 1.9.0 Component: base | Version: 1.8.0 Keywords: | Port: -------------------------------+-------------------------------------------- Comment(by Mathias.Laurin@…): I would also like a more gentoo-ish package manager and this feature is the one I miss most, hence I wrote a small python script calling port(1) recursively to do exactly that. It shows a star next to the already- installed dependencies. I am sorry I do not know tcl, I know a patch would have been more useful. I also see and appreciate that this feature is schedule to 1.9.0. In the mean time, my "pyport" script can be used. It may not be perfect but it does the job for me. It is public domain (really trivial python with a recursive call). -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.macports.org/ticket/21540#comment:4> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
