Hi James, Maun Suang, sorry, I do not have any notes on where exactly I read this, but the problem has been discussed on several public mailing lists. When I had the problem for the first time, it took me some googling to read that removing the .la files helps, and I have not yet seen any problems with that approach. A better (saner) approach would probably to fix the .la files for non- framework usage, but I have no idea what that exactly would mean. It could simply be a libtool bug, but, again, I don't know that.

port activate error: can't read "revision": no such variable
by Paulo Moura 10 May '07

10 May '07

Hi! I'm writing a portfile for XSB, a logic programming language. When doing a port activate, I get the following error: DEBUG: Executing com.apple.activate (xsb) ---> Activating xsb 3.0.1+_0 Error: Target com.apple.activate returned: can't read "revision": no such variable Warning: the following items did not execute (for xsb): com.apple.activate Error: Status 1 encountered during processing. There is no "revision" variable in the portfile. Any ideas?

Postfix warnings when starting (harmless?)
by Tabitha McNerney 10 May '07

10 May '07

Hello, I just installed the most current version of the Postfix port (2.3.8) under MacPorts 1.4.0 and 1.4.3 with the ldap, pcre, sasl and tls variants: $ port installed postfix > The following ports are currently installed: > postfix @2.3.8_0+ldap+pcre+sasl+tls (active) > on two different machines (an Intel Mac and a PowerPC Mac respectively both running 10.4.9). I've disabled Apple's postfix (per the recommendation in the comments generated by MacPorts after successfully installing). I also bought yesterday the excellent book on Postfix, "The Book of Postfix" and have used it to create a very simple single domain configuration (baby steps). When I start postfix, it certainly runs persistently but I have not yet tried to send mail yet, because the following warnings are dumped out on to the command line after starting it: # postfix start /opt/local/etc/postfix/postfix-script: line 200: ls: command not found postfix/postfix-script: warning: not owned by root: /opt/local/libexec/postfix /opt/local/etc/postfix/postfix-script: line 200: ls: command not found postfix/postfix-script: warning: not owned by root: /opt/local/etc/postfix /opt/local/etc/postfix/postfix-script: line 200: ls: command not found postfix/postfix-script: warning: not owned by root: /opt/local/var/spool/postfix /opt/local/etc/postfix/postfix-script: line 1: ls: command not found usage: find [-H | -L | -P] [-EXdsx] [-f file] [file ...] [expression] /opt/local/etc/postfix/postfix-script: line 1: ls: command not found postfix/postfix-script: starting the Postfix mail system The warnings about the command "ls" not being found in the postfix-script on lines 200 and line 1 is quite strange (when I vi postfix-script line 1 is not attempting to use the ls command but line 200 is). This is what line 200 looks like calling ls, enclosed in the do and done: do > ls -lLd $dir | (grep " root " >/dev/null || > $WARN not owned by root: $dir) > done > This is strange because my bash profile PATH is just fine (I give /opt/local the priority and then tack on $PATH after that, and when I try independently on the command line, the ls command works just fine). As for the complain about the ownership, I did notice that the directory: /opt/local/var/spool/postfix > is owned by root:admin but most of the contents in said directory are owned by postfix:admin and postfix:postdrop Are the above warnings normal? Can they be safely ignored? Or should I take some sort of rectifying action? It bothers me to see warnings (I would love for it to just run cleanly). Thanks a ton anyone, T.M. P.S. The warnings above are the exact same on the Intel and the PowerPC machine aforementioned.

documentation on testing a new port?
by cremes.devlist＠mac.com 10 May '07

10 May '07

I'm working on creating a new Portfile but I can't find any documentation on how to test it. My previous forays into macports were all modifications to pre-existing ports. All the docs are pointing at the old darwinports.opendarwin.org which no longer exists. Plus, in the wiki the link to the "old" docs which haven't been moved over yet just redirects to the macports.org homepage. I tried shoving the new Portfile into /opt/local/var/db/dports/ sources/rsync.rsync.darwinports.org_dpupdate_dports/multimedia (where it should eventually go) but the port command doesn't pick it up. Is there an index I need to muck with? Any pointers would be welcome. cr

How to downgrade to a previous version of libxslt?
by Lyle Johnson 09 May '07

09 May '07

Apologies if this is a FAQ. I'd like to downgrade my libxslt installation from 1.1.20 (the current version) to 1.1.15. I've deactivated 1.1.20, but when I try to install 1.1.15: sudo port install libxslt(a)1.1.15 I can see that it's trying to fetch libxslt-1.1.20.tar.gz from the source web site.

MacPorts v1.4.40 released for self update
by James Berry 09 May '07

09 May '07

Here's the change log: James Release 1.4.40 (7-May-2007, tagged at r24909 by jberry): - Note the bump in version naming. To leave ourselves lots of room in our versioning scheme, we've jumped from 1.4.3 to 1.4.40. The floating point represenation as reported by port version (1.440) will still be the same; we're just interpreting it differently. - variable tracing now works in a much better way and handles unsets properly. Similarly, ${option}-delete now works better. Depends validation no longer attempts to validate when the variable is unset. Additionally, the validation now actually validates each depspec instead of simply finding a single spec within the list that works (ticket #11868, eridius r24678). - macports infrastructure now easier to use from scripts. ui_prefix and ui_channels have default implementations, and all arguments to dportinit are now optional (ticket #11837, eridius r24460). - ln now accepts combined flags (ex. ln -sf foo bar) (eridius r24452) - default_variants now handles multiple values correctly (ticket #11828, eridius r24450). - ln uses new symlink command so it can create symlinks that point to files that don't actually exist (eridius r24444). - New bare-bones Pextlib command `symlink source target` (ticket #11840, eridius r24444). - delete reimplemented using fs-traverse (eridius r24435). - fs-traverse now uses the fts(3) family of functions instead of readdir/opendir. This fixes a couple behavioral oddities, and makes deleting during traversal work on 10.3 (ticket #11839, eridius r24423). - fs-traverse now takes a list of targets rather than a variable number of arguments (ticket #11836, eridius r24410). - Fixed a potential crasher in fs-traverse when showing error message (ticket #11827, eridius r24396, thanks sfiera). - Fixed a bug where livecheck failed on ports that do not define a homepage (ticket #11818, pguyot r24319). - Added the downloads section of our repo to the macports mirrors list (jmpp r24278). - Fixed a bug with the archive mode introduced with r23238 change (1.4.1) (pguyot r24273). - Trace mode now take dependencies into account when executing the activate phase. This fixes an unwanted warning when activating ports that depend on teTeX (pguyot r24199). - Support for mpwa submit through "port submit". This work is in progress. (jberry) - Expose autoconf XAR variable as portutil::autoconf::xar_path. (r24194). - Start to build portpkg.xar and meta data, hijacking Kevin's portsubmit.tcl. (r24195-24196). - Revise error messages in port image activation to use syntax that matches port(1). (jberry r24543, r24548). - Create new interp variable prefix_frozen, which is available to port phases even when the Portfile redefines prefix. (jberry r24848-r24849) - Search for prefix-relative commands in prefix_frozen rather than prefix. Affects port submit (xar) and port fetch (svn). (jberry r24849) - Always create a ~/.macports user directory if it doesn't yet exist. (jberry r24831) - Move port(1) readline history file to ~/.macports/history (jberry r24832, r24843)

Port version 1.440?
by Jeff Adams 09 May '07

09 May '07

I'm pretty sure that a week ago or whenever it was I first installed MacPorts, I used the DMG and got version 1.4.0 which then updated to 1.4.4 on the first "port selfupdate". This time when I ran port selfupdate I got: DarwinPorts base version 1.440 installed Downloaded MacPorts base version 1.440 The MacPorts installation is not outdated and so was not updated selfupdate done! Is that the same as 1.4.4? Is it just missing the second "."? Or is something corrupt somewhere? __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!

Install package from local file
by Marcus Karlsson 09 May '07

09 May '07

Hi. I'm trying to install tetex, but when ports try to fetch it the download is somehow interrupted and it tries the other download locations that also fails the same way. I can however download the file from within Safari or any other web browser from the same servers that ports tried. Can I let ports use the file I manually downloaded instead of trying to download it? Marcus
