I'm not aware of this additional information ever having been helpful. lib:- and bin:-style dependencies would allow a file (in this case libfetch.5.dylib) located outside the MacPorts prefix to satisfy the dependency. We don't want that, so you should almost always use port:- or path:-style dependencies. _______________________________________________ macports-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.macosforge.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/macports-dev
