I'm having a whale of time following an upgrade from 10.3 to 10.4.
I used webpublish, a simple command line tool that transferred files to another computer. It's still listed in MacPorts but the location has changed. It was at ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/webpublish but it is now at ftp://ftp.gnu.org/old-gnu/webpublish.
Can I change the locations that will be searched, ie, change gnu to old-gnu.
You can edit a portfile by using "port edit webpublish", assuming your EDITOR environment variable is set up properly. The webpublish port needed to be updated, which I did: http://trac.macosforge.org/projects/macports/changeset/27097 Wait 12 hours, then "sudo port sync", then you should be able to install webpublish 0.1.1_0. The port used "master_sites gnu" but GNU moved the software out of the "gnu" directory and into the "old-gnu" directory. We do not appear to have a "master_sides old-gnu" option. Should we? For now, I'm hardcoding the URL of the main GNU server, since such "old" software will hopefully not be in great demand. Also, the port was at version 0.1.0 which would not build on my machine: $ sudo port install ---> Verifying checksum(s) for webpublish ---> Extracting webpublish ---> Applying patches to webpublish ---> Configuring webpublish ---> Building webpublish with target all Error: Target org.macports.build returned: shell command " cd "/opt/ local/var/macports/build/ _Users_rschmidt_macports_dports_www_webpublish/work/webpublish-0.1.0" && make all " returned error 2 Command output: make all-recursive Making all in webpublish Making all in docs Making all in en make[4]: Nothing to be done for `all'. make[4]: Nothing to be done for `all-am'. c++ -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I.. -I/opt/local/include -O2 -O2 -fno- exceptions -fno-check-new -c dataelement.cpp objectfile.h: In member function 'status ObjectFile<T>::Read_ObjectFile_Header()': objectfile.h:2174: error: 'itshandle' was not declared in this scope make[3]: *** [dataelement.o] Error 1 make[2]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make: *** [all-recursive-am] Error 2 Error: Status 1 encountered during processing. $ I upgraded the port to use the last version of webpublish, 0.1.1, and that built for me.
