Hi,

Regarding hamcrest-core r50259

Revert r50223, this port is called hamcrest-core and thus should install only hamcrest-core, please create an hamcrest-library port if you need it.
  By the way, this change broke junit port as it expects to find an
  hamcrest-core

Please don't back out changes to commits without discussing it first, in an open-source project it's considered rude, especially since the port is marked as openmaintainer. Additionally, finding out you backed out the change just through committing isn't cool.

Also, my changes left in hamcrest-core.jar, so I don't know why you would see breakage, I didn't see it in my testing. When I upgrade ports, I do something like

$ port contents hamcrest-core | sort > 1
# install the new version of the port
$ port contents hamcrest-core | sort > 2
$ diff 1 2

to make sure there's no missing files.  What error are you seeing?

Regarding adding hamcrest-all.jar, I don't want another port just to install one more jar, I don't see the point in that.

Regards,
Blair
I don't see the point in having a port which installs hamcrest-core AND some other things even though it's called hamcrest-core. I thought you also changed the final jar name as it would have been at least consistent. A port installing more than it should have is in no way a more expected thing than a big port installing less than you expect it to do (e.g. python). What's the problem with one more jar? disk space?

Since my project needs more jars than just hamcrest-core.jar. I'll create a new hamcrest port that includes all the jars.


Then, we'll need to delete hamcrest-core. Separate ports look better to me.

Also, you didn't address my point about acceptable policy in backing out changes. Next time you are backing out a change, please double check before doing so.


Well, imho, your update was a major change, thus a ticket should have been filed.

Well, I don't see adding a single jar as requiring a ticket, as it wasn't modifying the existing files.

But that still doesn't relate to backing out changes. On the Subversion project, which I'm a committer on, we have a policy of discussing (and voting if necessary) before reverting. I'm not against backing out the change in this case, since you wanted hamcrest-core to just be the core jar file, which is ok, but how it was done.

Regards,
Blair
