[macports] Ticket #12962
by James Sumners 09 Jan '08

09 Jan '08

Would someone with some authority take a look at this ticket. I don't think the maintainer is much caring about it. I've added a portfile patch to the ticket. http://trac.macosforge.org/projects/macports/ticket/12962 -- James Sumners http://james.roomfullofmirrors.com/ "All governments suffer a recurring problem: Power attracts pathological personalities. It is not that power corrupts but that it is magnetic to the corruptible. Such people have a tendency to become drunk on violence, a condition to which they are quickly addicted."

Ticket #13826
by Rolf Würdemann 09 Jan '08

09 Jan '08

Hi ... as mentioned a few days ago I've updated the Portfile for qucs to 0.0.13 a few days ago. (And checked for compilation) 2day I've changed the Portfile to be relative to the svn Version and put also an diff to svn on the ticket ... I would be glad if someone can commit the changes, 'cause I can't do that ... reg's Rolf -- Security is an illusion - Datasecurity twice Rolf Würdemann - private: rowue(a)digitalis.org - office: rowue(a)crew-gmbh.de GnuPG fingerprint: 7383 348F 67D1 CD27 C90F DDD0 86A3 31B6 67F0 D02F jabber: rowue(a)digitalis.org 2F66A061 89BCA1A0 AD654827 6FD037FF 53C3E932

09 Jan '08

Hi there, over at the Scribus list, I heard that there is a new stable version of Scribus out, namely 1.3.3.10. How and when will I be able to get it on my MacPorts? What is the procedure like? Cheers, Thorsten.

Does MacPorts require XCode 3.0's UNIX developer support?
by J.D. Merrick 08 Jan '08

08 Jan '08

When installing Xcode 3.0 on Leopard, by default Unix developer support is disabled. That is, by default the command line tools (gcc, ld, etc.) are installed in /Developer without adding to the boot volume symlinks to the tools in /usr/bin or to the header files in /usr/include. Does MacPorts, including both the application itself as well as its individual ports, require those tools to be in /usr? Or, is it just necessary for the tools to be visible in one's PATH? The issue would arise if, for example, makefiles used hardcoded paths like /usr/bin/gcc or #include directives used paths like /usr/include/ stdio.h. Do port maintainers attempt to remove such fully qualified filenames when working on a port? I'd prefer not to have the development tools in /usr just because I just like keeping the root file system as clean as possible. But if MacPorts needs it, I'll break the rule. Thanks in advance, J.D.

Your version of tar seems to be the one that's provided with Tiger. If you have Tiger, then you should keep that version. I'm not sure what caused your problem, but I'd suggest trying `sudo port -f selfupdate` and making sure MacPorts to continues to work thereafter. If it does, then the problem shouldn't appear again.

gnucash - aqbanking build fails
by Peter Schneider 08 Jan '08

08 Jan '08

Building aqbanking 2.2.9 needed for gnucash fails on brand new installation of macports 1.6.0 Xcode3 (newest version, checked that yesterday, connect.apple.com doesn't offer anything newer at the moment) New, nearly untouched MacOS 10.5.1 installation with DevTools and new Xlibs ... com.apple.pkg.X11SDKLeo.bom/com.apple.pkg.X11User.bom The current version of aqbanking and gwenhywfar is 3.0.1, that stuff is somewhat dated, too. Console messages below ... "sudo port install gnucash" was the first install on this system (it's always discouraging when the very first thing that is to be built fails :-( ) ###################################################

Well, I think it might be the same issue. Not sure, since the person who filed that ticket did not include the error output they're getting. But the issue (qt3-mac doesn't support Leopard) is the same, so maybe that existing ticket is sufficient. I can add you to the ticket's Cc list if you would like to be informed of any changes made to it. >> Is that what you're seeing?

Nope, if you were on Tiger, it should have worked fine, initially. See, when ocaml was first updated to 3.10.0 (r25800, 2007-06-02), it worked on Tiger, but not on Leopard. Then later (r30771, 2007-11-06), a fix was committed for Leopard, but it only worked on MacPorts trunk, not the latest released version of MacPorts, 1.5.2. Then the Leopard fix was changed (r31240, 2007-11-18), but this broke the build on Tiger. Then I fixed it (r32486, 2008-01-04) so the Leopard- specific fix was applied only on Leopard, fixing the build on Tiger. But by this point MacPorts 1.6.0 had been released, so Kevin restored the original Leopard fix (r32488, 2008-01-04). You can see the history of the port's changes in the Trac repository browser: http://trac.macports.org/projects/macports/log/trunk/dports/lang/ocaml > my question was a general one: ocaml is a very good piece of > software so I'd like to see it supported by macports in the > future. The port has a maintainer. If a maintainer is unresponsive to an issue for 72 hours, another committer can take care of a problem, if a solution is known. If you or anyone would like to take over maintenance of a port, or would like to co-maintain a port with the current maintainer, you should contact the maintainer. If you get no response from the maintainer after repeated attempts, we can consider the maintainer gone and change it to nomaintainer, or to yourself or anyone else who wants to take it over.

libtool vs. libtool-devel
by skip＠pobox.com 08 Jan '08

08 Jan '08

I was seduced by the libtool-devel port (v. 1.9f), which caused me to deactivate the libtool port (v 1.5.24) in favor of it. As it turns out, the automake folks told me 1.9f is pretty old. The other kicker which got me to try libtool-devel was that the libtool port doesn't actually install tools named "libtool" and "libtoolize". I was looking for libtoolize, so assumed without investigating that if 1.9 > 1.5 and 1.5 doesn't have libtoolize, maybe 1.9 would have it. Given the naive view that a larger version number implies something a bit more current and "-devel" implies something a bit more development-oriented, shouldn't the libtool-devel port either be renamed or deleted altogether? -- Skip Montanaro - skip(a)pobox.com - http://www.webfast.com/~skip/
