No. There is a reason why we always upgrade dependencies first. Installing a port always requires all dependencies to be at the latest state. If we didn't do that we'd either need versioned dependencies, or rev-bumps would be pointless. > Without checking active versions before and after activation this user > workflow > could be dangerous: > $ sudo port -q deactivate sqlgrey postfix > $ sudo port -q activate sqlgrey Dangerous in that you might end up with a more recent version of postfix than you had before, yes. I don't think this is a very dangerous situation – in fact I think the exact opposite situation might actually be more dangerous. -- Clemens Lang _______________________________________________ macports-dev mailing list [email protected] https://lists.macosforge.org/mailman/listinfo/macports-dev
