Re: How do I find out who requested a port?

[Jeremy Lavergne]

Check out port requested (or perhaps port echo requested if it isn't available 
in the first form).

If you asked for the installation explicitly, it'll show up in that list. 
Anything is an automatic installer to fulfill dependency requirements.

Note if the requested package was removed or never installed, the notrequested 
(another key word you can likely use in a port command) will say no dependents 
and not requested. These are called leaves and can be safely pruned: I believe 
there's a port to automate that removal, port_cutleaves.

 Basically you seem to be asking for something that can magically analyze
 random source code and determine that it will conflict. This is not as
 simple as you seem to think it is; in fact it's a very unsolved problem.

Even MacPorts doens't know which of its ports will cause a conflict; it
relies solely on the package maintainers to manually declare them as much.

If only we tracked what each package installed: we could find all
conflicts before they happen, and we could tell people what packages to
install for a given binary!

Re: `port -pf upgrade outdated` is incredibly unsafe ??

Do you run force mode on all your system commands and never check the result

MacPorts upgrades dependencies by default. The routine you employ here breaks 
that in the worst way possible: it ignores problems and safeties with prejudice.

For what purpose are you using these flags?

 If the -f (or the combo of -pf) is indeed so terribly unsafe as you say (I do 
 not doubt your statement, even though I do not understand the reason for it), 
 then there should be at least one of the following:
 
   • Add a warning (including the reason for it) to the port manpage.
   • Emit a warning on the command line, whenever this option is used.
 Currently none of the two is present. So do not wonder, if (some of the few)

Great, glad it worked. 1 GB RAM should be ok for compiling most ports;
my PowerPC test machine has only 512 MB. But your 500 MHz processor is
slow. It may be the fastest G3 Apple shipped, but it's still much

Compiling compilers is one of the slowest tasks though. Most ports
should build much quicker.

 New to the listserv and sorry if this is an old issue that I couldn't

 I've been running an older OSX 10.6 (Snow Leopard) XServe server for
some time. It's an older Mac that can't be updated further. I have
MacPorts running on it, but until recently I was using the MacPorts
PHP53 with Apple's built-in apache2 by  including 
 
  LoadModule php5_module   
/opt/local/apache2/modules/mod_php53.so
 
 in /etc/apache2/httpd.conf
 
 Recently my campus security people wanted me to update the apache
version being run on this server, so I inactivated the apple apache2
and restarted using the MacPorts version. Suddenly I started getting
this error in my apache error logs: 
 
  file_get_contents(): php_network_getaddresses: getaddrinfo failed:
nodename nor servname provided, or not known in...
 
 Googling this, there were a number of suggestions that this is an
ipV6 problem, and indeed, if I inactivate ipv6 using ip6 -x and then
restart apache (using stop and start) the functionality that uses
file_get_contents starts working again. But once or twice per day,
something breaks it again and I have to stop and start apache2 again. 
I don't understand why this would be an apache issue, but I think I've
seen this for over a year because the reason I was running Apple's
built in apache up until now, despite using MacPorts PHP is that
certain functionalities on my site stopped working when I previously
tried to switch to MacPorts apache2. I'm not even sure if ipv6 is the
real problem, or whether the apache stop and start was what was
providing the fix.
 
 Since this doesn't seem to be a problem for others, I suspect that
there is a configuration problem on my server of some kind. But I can't
figure out what it is. Any suggestions would be welcome.

I haven't run into this, but I don't do much PHP programming anymore.
All I can suggest is that, since PHP 5.3 is at end of life, you try a
newer version of PHP. We have php54, php55 and php56 in MacPorts as
well. Of course you may need to change your project's code to be
compatible with these versions. There are guides on the PHP web site
for how to do that, links to which are printed by running port notes
php53. 

If you suspect this is related to using Apache, you could also consider
trying a different web server, such as nginx which I understand is very
popular. Under such a web server, you would no longer be using the PHP
Apache SAPI (in the php*-apache2handler ports), but instead the PHP
FastCGI Process Manager SAPI (in the php*-fpm ports).

You’re running into a deadlock with FTP: the machines on both sides of the 
connection have restrictive firewalls, so additional ports cannot be opened for 
listening.

This means you just need to disable passive mode for the ports whose servers 
need that, which should be simply adding this when applicable:
fetch.use_epsv no


There is only integration with curl.

Re: Migrating to Yosemite---cannot run 'port -qv installed' after OS upgrade

If there's a missing dependency that's used, upgrade will pull in files from

Uninstalling everything first then building, or using trace mode for upgrade, 
eliminates this possibility.

If you've already installed Yosemite, then your existing MacPorts will likely 
not function. Simply re-install MacPorts to get it running again.

Once running, you can do selfupdate and make the usual list of requested

 to save your installed ports and then uninstall the ports.  However, after 
 upgrading, my port command doesn’t work - it only complains that the current 
 platform darwin 14 doesn’t match the expected platform darwin 13.  So unless 
 you know a way around this, it looks like we need to do a completely new 
 installation manually of our ports, and won’t be able to use the migration 
 instructions to restore ports.

 Robert: your best bet may be to restore the latest snapshot from *before* 
 your last selfupdate from a TimeMachine (or other) backup, and try again from 
 there.
 If all else fails you can try a `port installed requested` and reinstall from 
 scratch following the same instructions that also apply for upgrading 
 MacPorts after an OS upgrade. That is, if your database is not so damaged 
 that it can no longer provide the list of ports you installed explicitly ...

Re: /bin/sh: line 2: `BASH_FUNC_ttr%%': not a valid identifier

[Jeremy Lavergne]

Off the top of my head:
 * Rosetta (for PPC)
 * Apple Mail in Mavericks cannot do any searching without spotlight (among 
other bugs)
 * Mavericks Messages keeps records of every chat you’ve had, the option to 
explicitly “close” can cause deletion when set but previously iChat didn’t try 
to horde data like this
 * Gatekeeper makes you jump through hoops to install from un-identified

You can decide how negative these issues are overall (I only use Mavericks on 
the go, when I’m not really using the computer), and I’m sure there are further 
reasons.

Re: Troubles installing ports with Macports 2.3.1

[Jeremy Lavergne]

 I suppose that, during the Computing dependencies for auto-multiple-choice 
 phase, a lot of http requests are made to obtain port information and that 
 these requests are not fully closed either by Macports or by the proxy. As 
 this problem is recent (at least for me), it is perhaps related to a recent 
 Java update (the proxy is a java application).
 
 During computing dependencies, no http requests would be made by MacPorts, 
 as far as I know. Port information for all ports is already on your computer; 
 that's what you're updating every time you run sudo port sync or sudo port 
 selfupdate. Computing dependencies would however involve opening the 
 portfile and portgroup files for each port that is a dependency of the port 
 you're installing that's not already installed. If you have not yet installed 
 (m)any ports, and the port you've requested has a lot of dependencies, this 
 could be a lot of files and take some minutes. According to port rdeps 
 auto-multiple-choice, there are 300 ports to be considered. So you could 
 possibly improve the situation by installing some of the dependencies 
 individually first. Look at the output of port deps auto-multiple-choice 
 and sudo port install some of those ports by themselves. Then later, return 
 to trying to install auto-multiple-choice itself.

Are you suggesting MacPorts doesn't closed files after reading them? That would 
be an extreme error, and likely break Migration between system versions. It 
would also get spotted by any other user trying to install a huge dependency 
tree—yet we haven’t seen that.

This red herring will needlessly breaking users' `requested` flags in MacPorts.

Fontconfig’s portfile has this post-activate hook:

Re: port upgrade failed after mac upgrade

[Jeremy Lavergne]

When migrating to a new OS, be sure to reinstall MacPorts.

For minimum support of MacPorts, you need the Command Line Tools, which can be 
installed using xcode-select --install. If you are installing MacPorts from 
source, you will also want to run sudo xcodebuild -license. Note that some 
ports will require a full Xcode installation, which is available for free on 
the Mac App Store.

Re: Older version of mysql starting up after Mavericks upgrade

[Jeremy Lavergne]

 Hi, I just upgraded my mac to mavericks. Then I had to reinstall macports 
 from the dmg to get it to work.

You need to follow the Migration instructions when changing the operating 
system out from under MacPorts.
http://trac.macports.org/wiki/Migration

 Now I have two problems: 
 
 1) An older version of MySql launches. Guess it should have been deleted at a 
 previous stage. The old one is here:
 /opt/local/var/run/mysql5
 
 The macports version is here:
 /usr/local/mysql-5.6.10-osx10.7-x86_64


Really? MacPorts in /usr/local?


 How do I get the newest one to launch instead of the old one.?
 
 This problem might be related to this other problem:
 
 2) sudo port upgrade outdated
 reports an error at configuring db46
 
 config.log says:
 configure:4851: error: in 
 `/opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_tarballs_ports_databases_db46/db46/work/db-4.6.21/build_unix':
 configure:4853: error: C compiler cannot create executables
 
 Found some hints on installing command-line-tools, which I did with 
 xcode-select --install
 However, with the same result.

Probably all your problems will go away after following Migration.

Re: Any interest in relative (--enable-load-relative) variant for Ruby?

[Jeremy Lavergne]

 I have been trying to use MacPorts Ruby as the basis for deploying a 
 standalone Ruby-Tk app on Mavericks, just as many developers use MacPorts 
 Python (with PyQt, for instance). This was not working for me because Ruby 
 hard-codes its load path when built, so the binary and dylibs could not be 
 relocated into an app bundle using install_name_tool.
 
 After doing some additional research, I found the --enable-load-relative 
 flag, which removes hard-coding of the load path and instead allows loading 
 of the libraries relative to the Ruby installation. After editing my portfile 
 and doing some more jiggering, I was able to relocate my build of Ruby into 
 an app bundle without too much difficult.
 
 Is there any interest in supporting a relative variant for Ruby? The 
 portfile edit is trivial, cf below:
 
 variant relative description Enable relative loading of libraries to allow 
 for relocation of binaries. {
#enable relative loading
configure.args-append  --enable-load-relative
 }
 
 This might open up Ruby as a continued language for desktop development on 
 the Mac in the wake of MacRuby's demise on Mavericks. I've seen some interest 
 among Ruby developers on other platforms who want to port their Ruby app to 
 the Mac, but the lack of deployment tools is a hindrance. While I'm not going 
 to go as far as creating a rb2app tool, I will likely post a how-to 
 article with some sample code and build scripts.
 
 How should I submit a variant patch?

Make a ticket and attach the patch there:

Re: How use jarbundler to create an .app from JPortsUI.jar?

[Jeremy Lavergne]

 I have the MacPorts ports of jarbundler (@2.2.0_0) and apache-ant (@1.9.3_0) 
 installed and active. I have the file JPortsUI.jar in the folder  ~/jPorts.
 
 Trying to make sense of the docs at http://informagen.com/JarBundler/, I 
 created in that same folder the file build.xml
 
 taskdef name=jarbundler 
 classname=net.sourceforge.jarbundler.JarBundler /
 
 as well as file jarbundler:
 
 jarbundler dir=.
 name=jPort
 mainclass=JPortsUI
 jar=./JPortsUI.jar /
 
 I tried now:
 
  cd ~/JPorts
  ant build.xml
 
 This generates error:
 
  Buildfile: /Users/[myuserdirname]/jPorts/build.xml
 
  BUILD FAILED
  /Users/[myuserdirname]/jPorts/build.xml:2: Unexpected element {}tasked 
 {antlib:org.apache.tools.ant}taskdef

My understanding of the error is that “taskdef” tag must be inside a wrapper 
tag.

Consider this from StackOverflow:
http://stackoverflow.com/a/3582036


 Question: What am I doing wrong?
 
 A couple of particular questions:
 
 (i) Should there be an extension to file jarbundler and, if so, what?
 
 (ii) The docs at http://informagen.com/JarBundler/ say to move the file 
 jarbundler-2.3.1.jar into your local ANT lib directory. Given the 
 configuration of MacPorts, with ports going into /opt, what does that mean I 
 also need to do, if anything?  I note that /opt/local/lib has no ant 
 subdirectory.

According to ant.apache.org/manual/running.html
All JARs in $ANT_HOME/lib were added to the $CLASSPATH automatically, and

Ant further takes the -lib argument for passing further specific paths.

Re: XDG dirs

[Jeremy Lavergne]

 I recently removed, then reinstalled, MacPorts 2.2.1 trying to diagnose a 
 problem with glib. The problem was that when meld tried to write into the 
 director glib’s g_get_user_dir(), it would get a a permission denied because 
 this directory was under /opt/local/share, which is a system directory.
 
 After some digging, I found that MacPorts modified my .tcshrc


I can’t find this being done in glib2 or meld.

Which port caused your ~.tcshrc to be modified?



 with three variables that override the glib defaults. These variables, and 
 their values are:
 
   setenv XDG_DATA_DIRS   /opt/local/share
   setenv XDG_DATA_HOME   /opt/local/share
   setenv XDG_CONFIG_DIRS /opt/local/etc/xdg
 
 The problem is that these XDG directories are all supposed to be user 
 specific, not system specific. I don’t know why MacPorts picked these values, 
 but they’re clearly wrong. Simply removing these lines caused glib to revert 
 back to reasonable defaults.
 
 This looks like a bug in the install script. I don’t know who else is having 
 this problem, but the install scripts should never be using these values for 
 these directories, since these directories should never writable by normal 
 users. In fact, I suspect that the system will work just fine without setting 
 these variables at all.
 
 Thanks.

hardware and added a SmallTree NIC with their driver thinking that
would solve it, but after two days the machine went deaf again.
 
 So now I'm thinking that a reformat and clean install of 10.8 and
all macports might be the solution. This is an active mailserver with
many packages installed with macports (postfix, dovecot, antispam,
dspam, sieve, etc.) and I don't want to lose any of their
configurations. I have nightly CCC and hourly Timemachine backups.
 
 What's the recommended way to reinstall previously installed ports
(in 10.7) with all previous configuration onto a fresh system running
10.8?
 
 Thanks for any advice.

Re: MacPorts automake and python

[Jeremy Lavergne]

Isn’t this a pythonism, things install to python’s site-packages directory?

 Since automake was bumped to 1.14.1_1 it can't be used to build any
 python software outside of MacPorts as it always tries to install the
 python modules into MacPorts prefix. I understand why we want to
 ensure that ports always installs modules into the MacPorts prefix,
 but I can't understand why we would force this for everything using
 MacPorts python.
 
 When I questioned this I was told that I should be using a non
 MacPorts python if I don't want the modules to end up in the MacPorts
 prefix? If that is the case what's the point of MacPorts? I was under
 the impression that the goal of the project was to provide an
 easy-to-use system for compiling, installing, and upgrading either
 command-line, X11 or Aqua based open-source software on the OS X
 operating system. But now I'm getting told that I shouldn't be using
 MacPorts but I should be installing things locally if I don't want to
 install modules into the MacPorts prefix.
 
 This change seems like a very bad idea and is surely going to cause
 problems down the line, in fact at work several users have already
 been bitten by this.

Re: MacPorts Statistics (was Re: usage numbers for macports vs. homebrew?)

[Jeremy Lavergne]

Regarding the console spam, we can only avoid it if the user “cleanly 
uninstalls MacPorts [1]. Then if the stats cron job is treated or installed as 
a typical port, the cron job would be uninstalled.

However, if, as suggested, the user just deletes /opt/local/* then we can’t 
really cleanup anything.

 Are you saying no one ever should use launchd?
 It doesn’t sound like this is our problem.

 As I understand it, the statistics process arose in GSOC 11, right?  Is it 
 pretty much as described at:
 https://trac.macports.org/wiki/MacPortsStatisticsGSoC2011
 There is a (short) thread about the proposal here:
 https://lists.macosforge.org/pipermail/macports-dev/2011-March/014384.html
 which suggests it is inspired by Debian's Popcon tool (Popularity Contest”).

Inspired, sure. But that doesn’t mean we’re going for 1:1.

 Is the above accurate?  I understand that Popcon tracks the last access time 
 (atime) for files in a port and that our implementation does not.
 
 From what I can see, our tool will not gather whether a port was Requested or 
 not.  I think that's a key data point.  Some libs will get installed very 
 frequently as dependencies but will seldom be requested.

At the time of GSoC11, I don’t think MacPorts even had the notion of requested 
ports.

Nothing prevents this from being added at any later date.

 Also, this is implemented as a weekly launchd job.  What happens if there is 
 a problem somewhere between the users machine and the server receiving the 
 data?  Does the user job abort gracefully?  Try again?

Port uses curl to submit, and then catches and prints any errors. Finally 
returns 0.
But don’t take my word for it: the code would reveal the truth there.

 Do we have a sample statistics page for a port/all ports?

I believe Clemens has a test box.
