That PR was submitted a year ago. It was high time to merge it.
https://github.com/macports/macports-base/pull/55
It was hoped that this would make many ports easier to write, without needing
to set worksrcdir. Much testing was done to determine what negative impact this
change might have, and some ports were identified that needed changes to be
compatible with this. Most of those ports were already fixed to be compatible
with both current MacPorts and the above PR. Looks like as of today only one
port remains to be modified:
https://github.com/macports/macports-ports/pull/1760
It is certainly possible that some ports were missed. If you need help figuring
out what to do with cmake-devel, let us know what the error is.
