Hi Thomas. I'm afraid I don't know of any fix at this time. Chris  
Janton mentioned in his last message that things now worked for him,  
but I didn't understand why.


The PHP bug on this issue mentions that the next version of libxml2  
will include a fix for this issue:


http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=45996

So, we wait for that release to occur. Or if someone can figure out  
where their source code is repository and if they have already  
checked in a fix then perhaps we can apply it to the libxml2 port now  
already.


I'm copying this message back to the macports-users mailing list

On my 10.5 system things are working well. On my 10.3 system, not so  
well.


The fix happened when this change was applied

http://trac.macports.org/changeset/43388

As far as I understand it we need to tell PHP to use expat as  
opposed to defaulting to using libxml2 for parsing.


Somewhere in mid-2008 this configuration option for PHP

--with-expat-dir=${prefix}

needed to be changed to this configuration option

--with-libexpat-dir=${prefix}

that causes PHP to use expat instead of libxml2, so the old behavior  
returned.


The renaming of the configure option for PHP 5.1 or later was noted at http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=34221 
 back in August, 2005.

Looks like you installed MacPorts 1.7.0, but you have not synced your

That seems like there is a network issue, e.g. rsync is blocked. You can
run 'sudo port -v selfupdate' (or even -d) for more details.

If rsync is blocked by your company or ISP for whatever reason, either
convince your administrator that rsync isn't harmful and there is no
reason to block it - or use alternatives provided over HTTP. Please see

Re: Perl 5.8.8 already present on Leopard; can I make a dummy Portfile?

There's one fairly significant oversight with respect to doing this with
perl. Modules. Having multiple instances of the same version of perl5 that
are built with different @INC is a complete mess. At the very least, port
should configure itself to (or ask if it should) use the same configuration
as the existing perl installation.

Newbie - Keeping a macport installation clean

2008-12-28 Thread Thomas Gommes

Hi Everyone,

after a couple of year using Gentoo Linux, I moved to Mac OS and was 
very happy to discover Macport. I have been playing around with it since 
a couple of days, installing and removing quite some stuff. I was now 
wondering if there was a way to keep the macport installation clean. I 
could not find advices on this topic in the doc; sorry if i missed it.


What I'm looking for is the equivalent of the Gentoo emerge depclean 
and revdep-rebuild commands; the idea is that the installation of 
package 1 also installs package 2 and package 3 as dependencies. 
Removing package 1 afterward would keep the packages 2 and 3 installed 
where there are no longer necessary. The emerge depclean command would 
remove the packages 2 and 3. This could however break some other package 
4 that would depend on package 3 for instance. Revdep-rebuild would find 
this and re-install package 3. Is there a way to achieve the equivalent 
with macport?


Many thanks for the help and for making macport,

Thomas

Unfortunately, there is no such way. MacPorts does not track if you
installed a port as a dependency or if you requested it to be installed.

  * http://trac.macports.org/ticket/15260

There is also currently nothing to scan for broken packages and rebuild
them, except rebuild all dependent ports using 'port -R upgrade'.

  * http://trac.macports.org/ticket/17473

If you want to bring your ideas in, feel free to tell them (better being

This means there are no ports that need upgrading.

This has already been improved in 1.7.0, as this is now a general

Re: Perl 5.8.8 already present on Leopard; can I make a dummy Portfile?

2008-12-28 Thread nicerobot

I fully understand the design decision. My point is that the decision is
flawed because it's too inflexible. Macports should be more versatile with
respect to perl because perl modules aren't generally treated the same as
binary libraries (i.e. the FAQ link you referenced isn't completely
applicable to perl modules). It's completely acceptable and understandable
for macports to provide it's own version(s) of perl and even to require a
set of modules. There's just absolutely no reason whatsoever that macport's
version of perl can't, for those that decide to do so, share/combine the
@INC with the OS's perl's @INC, especially when the two builds of perl are
identical versions.

To deny this request essentially forces users that have a significant
investment in the OS's perl to either spend the time getting macports into
the same state and switching to macports' perl or having to decide which
perl to use for certain situations and not be able to just rely on the
$PATH. Either way, it's not a user-friendly approach. Maybe i'm wrong but i
thought macports was about providing solution, not creating hurdles.

True, but...
1. ...it's a one-off.
2. ...I find it preferable to customize MacPort's Perl anyways (not that I
really have, but if I was going to...) because it's easier to wipe out the
MacPorts installation than it is to wipe out the OS' installation, and by
leaving the OS' installation pristine, I'm (more or less) guaranteed it will
be in the expected state for third-party apps.
3. ...how hard is it to duplicate your OS Perl customizations on the
MacPort's installation?  Exactly how much customizing are we dealing with?


 or having to decide which
 perl to use for certain situations and not be able to just rely on the
 $PATH.


Why can't you use the $PATH?
/opt/local/bin at the end - system perl
/opt/local/bin at the start - macports perl


 Maybe i'm wrong but i
 thought macports was about providing solution, not creating hurdles.


Not helping.
