Yes. Of course, I could put the patches in the MacPorts repository, but I don't think this is recommended, as not every MacPorts user need them (if every ports did that, it would multiply the repository and working copy size by some factor). > Okay, then it will fall into the "what to do when upstream does not > have versioned files" category. As in: they probably need renaming. Upstream patches are versioned: they are in different subdirectories. But MacPorts doesn't care, unless I've missed something to have the subdirectory taken into account. > e.g. patch01 -> mpfr-2.3.0-patch01 How can I do that? "patchfiles" contains only the patch names, I didn't see any possibility of rename. -- Vincent Lefèvre <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> - Web: <http://www.vinc17.org/> 100% accessible validated (X)HTML - Blog: <http://www.vinc17.org/blog/> Work: CR INRIA - computer arithmetic / Arenaire project (LIP, ENS-Lyon) _______________________________________________ macports-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.macosforge.org/mailman/listinfo/macports-dev
