Is there a good reason not to do this in the MacPorts API?
I'm happy to have any thoughts on the approach. I tend to think
this is in the "API" layer, since it's implemented as a target. So
in other words, it's on parr with clean, lint, trace, activate, etc.
If its a target implemented by calling "mportexec foo [un]load" then
I'm happy. I guess I'm not as familiar with the code as I thought I
was, but I don't see where or how something using the MacPorts API
(base/src/macports1.0) gets the port API.
Yes, see action_target in port.tcl from port(1). It calls mportopen,
mportexec, mportclose.
But I'm clearly missing the intent behind your words. How do you
think it should be implemented, and why?
Looking at the MacPorts API, I just don't see where the port API
comes into play. I guess I'm just confused.
I don't blame you for being confused. I'm confused every time I look
at that code. It's a ball of worms. The more I know about it the more
I want to rewrite it ;) But time, alas, intervenes.
