Hi,
I seem to recall that I am less alone nowadays in actually using an adapted
version of MacPorts on Linux (or *BSD)?
One of the things I miss on Linux is the rev-upgrade feature, if not only
because it is also very useful to figure out who depends on a given shared
library.
Anyway, has anyone also dabbling in this cross-platform use looked into
alternatives to machista ("elfista" ...) or patching machista itself so the
crucial functions also support ELF binaries (this would be easier for the build
system I presume)?
Machista itself builds on Linux and could presumably be used for MACH objects;
I've just had to patch _wrap_macho_loadcmd_mlt_install_name_get() to avoid
dereferencing a NULL pointer (which must have happened to me, on Linux or when
I tested basic functionality on FreeBSD).
Thanks,
R.
PS: I've made a fileIsBinary patch for Linux myself that detects the ELF magic
opcode but continues to return False until I've figured out what to do with
detected binaries.
