#44052: git-core: obsolete, but asked for when fetching the sources via git ----------------------+-------------------------------- Reporter: mojca@… | Owner: macports-tickets@… Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: base | Version: 2.3.0 Resolution: | Keywords: snowleopard Port: | ----------------------+-------------------------------- Comment (by ciserlohn@…): The git-core port has been renamed to git ( #37279, r120912). Ports with {{{fetch.type git}}} will try to install git-core if they can't find git in PATH (see [source:/tags/release_2_3_0/base/src/port1.0/portfetch.tcl#L190 portfetch.tcl]). I fixed this in trunk (r120928) and in the release_2_3 branch (r120931) but {{{portfetch.tcl}}} is in base so the fix will only take effect when 2.3.1 is released. Xcode > 4 has a bundled version of git so this only affects snow leopard with Xcode 3.2.6 (as installed on our buildbots). A possible workaround would be to add: {{{ platform darwin 10 { depends_fetch-delete port:git-core depends_fetch-append port:git } }}} to every port with {{{fetch.type git}}} until 2.3.1 is released. A short grep reveals that the following ports use {{{fetch.type git}}}: {{{ Fonzy GetPoints HideSysFiles MongoExplorer MyLoss Quicksilver ShiftIt SSHKeychain cfxr midi_patchbay dfu-util couchdb-devel csvdb tokyocabinet-clj chromium-tabs git-flow GitX libbert libchloride libhsplasma ocaml-batteries-devel ocaml-quickcheck PlasmaShop redo VillainousStyle ackmate org-mode-devel rails.vim textmate2 gcs-java pdfpc sane-frontends ttk kgraphviewer kmymoney4-devel massif-visualizer clojure-contrib-devel clojure-devel jslint jsmin logtalk-devel slime yap-devel OpenBLAS-devel audacious-core audacious-plugins mplayer2 VLC VLC-devel skypipe tcpflow py-docx py-pyttsx py26-pymvpa py26-tvdb py26-tvnamer py27-novaclient gate gr-fosphor gr-iqbalance gr-osmosdr libosmo-dsp rtl-sdr yorick-gl yorick-z tcpcrypt-devel arq_restore asprint iRecovery tex-f7u12 multimarkdown xchm nodejuice tidy glw xorg-server-devel }}} -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/44052#comment:1> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X

#44052: git-core: obsolete, but asked for when fetching the sources via git ----------------------+-------------------------------- Reporter: mojca@… | Owner: macports-tickets@… Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: base | Version: 2.3.0 Resolution: | Keywords: snowleopard Port: | ----------------------+-------------------------------- Comment (by ryandesign@…): Replying to [comment:1 ciserlohn@…]:

Xcode > 4 has a bundled version of git so this only affects snow leopard with Xcode 3.2.6 (as installed on our buildbots).

And as on most Snow Leopard users' machines, since Xcode 4 on Snow Leopard has never been free. This also affect Leopard and Tiger users. But it does not affect users who already installed git.

A possible workaround would be to add (not tested yet): {{{ platform darwin 10 { depends_fetch-delete port:git-core depends_fetch-append port:git } }}} to every port with {{{fetch.type git}}} until 2.3.1 is released.

In these situations, the `-replace` modifier is more convenient than using both `-delete` and `-append`. Replying to [comment:2 mojca@…]:

I would prefer to see 2.3.1 released sometime soon rather than patching a huge number of ports just to revert the changes later.

Agreed. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/44052#comment:6> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X
