Hi,
devel/poco-ssl has been marked
BROKEN= bad plist
for some time now.
Since I urgently need it for devel work, and as I would prefer
to use the port rather than compile POCO directly (which works
too), I'm considering bypassing this BROKEN setting with:
.if ${.CURDIR:M*/devel/poco-ssl}
TRYBROKEN=yes
.endif
in /etc/make.conf.
Is it okay, until devel/poco-ssl is fixed?
You can do whatever you want on your own system. The reason given
for marking it BROKEN was a bad plist, and if that is the only thing
wrong with it, then you need only worry about it leaving unregistered
files behind after it is removed, or possibly conflicting with another
port. If that's alright with you, then you may as well use NO_IGNORE
or TRYBROKEN as a workaround.
Okay, I've tried it on a test machine, and it seems to work
alright (so far), at least with the few programs I've compiled.
It looks like a bad plist only, and I think that I understand
the ramifications of it, so I'll stick to this workaround until
the port is fixed.
Oh, btw, I'm still missing the poco-doc port which pulls in
the POCO documentation. :-(
Oh, well. If the maintainer won't do it, maybe you could take the
time to fix the plist and offer an option to install the docs?
I'll have a look as soon as I grok the ports system and find
out how to do that. ;-)
Thanks,
