or, submit a ticket requesting the port adds macports-clang-3.9 and
macports-clang-4.0 to the compiler blacklist.
Where can I submit it?
trac
https://trac.macports.org/wiki/Tickets
Yes, the warning is mis-leading
Error: clang-4.0 has been replaced by clang-8.0; please install that
instead.
this does not actually mean clang-8.0 is not already installed.... What
it really should say is
'please configure port <foo-bar> to use clang-8.0 instead'
That would be less confusing indeed.
Can that be made the message?
Not easily. The message is generated by the obsolete port group, which
is used in a number of scenarios, for some of which the currently
message does make sense.
