Hi In a port that I maintain there's a bug in the current version that causes the build to fail if the old version is active. I'm involved in the upstream project and we are working on resolving this but it's going to take a while to fix. In the meantime I am trying to add a check to the Portfile to see if a previous version of the port is active and deactivate it in the pre-configure stage.
Looking through the FAQ I found the deavtivate hack: <http://trac.macports.org/wiki/PortfileRecipes#deactivatehack> So I've been trying to use something like this, namely: pre-configure { # bug in swig bindings that causes build to fail if previous version is active if {![catch {set installed [lindex [registry_active lal] 0]}]} { registry_deactivate_composite lal "" [list ports_nodepcheck 1] } } But this is failing with the following: ---> Configuring lal ---> Deactivating lal @6.11.0_2+swig_python Error: org.macports.configure for port lal returned: sqlite error: unable to open database file (14) while executing query: UPDATE registry.files SET active=0 WHERE actual_path=? AND id=? Please see the log file for port lal for details: /opt/local/var/macports/logs/_Users_ram_git_mp_testing_science_lal/lal/main.log To report a bug, follow the instructions in the guide: http://guide.macports.org/#project.tickets Error: Processing of port lal failed With nothing extra in main.log, clearly I'm doing something wrong here but can't see it. Has anyone got any pointers or any recommendations on how to deactivate the installed version of the port before trying to build?
