The portfile must list which patchfiles to use.

You tell us! If equivalent changes have not been made in the apache source already, then yes the patch is still necessary to properly protect sensitive files on case-insensitive filesystems like OS X's default HFS+. > How about the libtool patch ??? > https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=47691 > this is a patch that's been made exclusively by macports If equivalent changes have not been made in the apache source already (and I guess they haven't because the upstream bug report has not been touched) then yes the patch is still necessary. _______________________________________________ macports-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.macosforge.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/macports-dev
