#39910: Request for bison2 port due to backwards-incompatible changes in Bison 3.0 ----------------------+------------------- Reporter: egall@… | Owner: mww@… Type: request | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: Resolution: | Keywords: Port: bison2 | ----------------------+------------------- Changes (by devans@…): * cc: mww@… (removed) * owner: macports-tickets@… => mww@… Comment: Either reverting the current bison port to 2.7.1 or creating a separate port of that version would work for me (as a webkit-gtk maintainer) but if bison (3.0) and bison2 would conflict then I think the utility would be questionable. Bison1 is seriously outdated and has no current dependents so should probably be removed. A quick check of bison dependents shows 93 at this moment. I'm sure that more than one uses the deprecated features that are now removed in bison 3.0 (#39923) although I haven't tested them all. And there is no evidence that any port actually requires bison 3.0 at this point. So my vote overall would be to revert bison to the previous 2.7.1 version until the impact of upgrading to 3.0 is evaluated with respect to its current dependents. Of course, I would defer to the bison maintainer as to his preferred resolution but encourage this to be handled as soon as possible since the breakage in webkit-gtk blocks a number of other ports. To start, these include gimp2, epiphany, yelp, devhelp and the many other GNOME ports that depend on yelp. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/39910#comment:4> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X

bison1 currently doesn't conflict with bison, I don't see why bison2 and bison3 would have to conflict as well... -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/39910#comment:10> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X

I'm still hoping that MacPorts would be able to have both versions at the same time...

You're welcome to contribute a Portfile if you'd like to see this happen. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/39910#comment:15> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X

We'll probably want to add unversioned symlinks to the executables for the port of the version that we want to support. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/39910#comment:17> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X
