Dear Bob, sorry for dragging this one up again. However I just noticed, that older daily releases disappear once you upload a new one. This makes it EXTREMELY difficult for me to maintain a port file for jmol.
* A port file references a specific binary; it verifies the sha1sum of this binary and will balk if it does not match. This means I have to adjust the port file for every daily tagged release. * If this release disappears, people will no longer be able to download or upgrade their jmol version using mac ports, until a new port file is provided. * This process takes AT LEAST 24 hours, and most probably longer especially as you wrote earlier: On 11 Jun 2014, at 17:52, Robert Hanson <[email protected]> wrote: > Maybe in general you should wait a day or two before you port :) All this will negatively impact the mac ports users’ jmol experience. Taking this into account I have two ideas on what would prevent these issues: 1) Leave all daily binaries up on sourceforge. 2) Or designate “long-life” builds that will stay up for an extended amount of time. As long as it is unclear if a jmol binary will be around for a longer period of time, I will leave the port file on version 14.0.13, until no further changes happen to 14.2.0 (so probably when you move to 14.2.1).
