How so?
Since the above was the end of this thread in January, and the only other response, from Daniel, was in favor of making this change, I filed a ticket to track it: https://trac.macports.org/ticket/33930 And tested and committed the change: https://trac.macports.org/changeset/91701 You reverted it minutes later: https://trac.macports.org/changeset/91702 You added in the ticket that you still disagree with this for all the reasons originally stated in the original ticket two years ago -- reasons you did not raise again in this thread in January. You asked one question which I answered, and raised a second concern about proxy servers, which I did not understand and asked for clarification on, which you never provided. I assumed there were no further objections. I find it rude and upsetting that you reverted my change rather than initiating a continuation of this thread yourself. Let's discuss it now. (Or, tomorrow; I need to sleep.) I want this change in MacPorts 2.1.0. Please help me understand what your objections are. _______________________________________________ macports-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.macosforge.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/macports-dev
