Hi, I maintain the tuxmath and tuxtype ports (and am also upstream maintainer for both).
I initially got interested in MacPorts as a way of making binary dmg files for our Mac users, even if they don't use MacPorts. I can now build universal (32-bit PPC/Intel, that is) mdmg files for the programs, although they probably only work on Leopard. Recently on this list it was recommended that for situations like mine, I build the dmgs to install under something other than the default /opt/local, so that they not conflict with MacPorts-installed packages if the user happens to have MacPorts. So, I followed the manual and installed a second MacPorts copy on my iMac, this time under "/opt/local/tux4kids". My question is how people make this simple to manage. Is there an established way to set up aliases, paths, etc? I want to be sure that if I type "sudo port", I run the default macports copy, and have a function or alias (say "sudo tuxport") that gives me "port" from my non-default installation. Thanks for any advice, David Bruce _______________________________________________ macports-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.macosforge.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/macports-dev
