Another thing (while we're on the subject) that I noticed is that, given the following deps: $ port deps mplayer-edl Full Name: mplayer-edl @34269_1 Fetch Dependencies: subversion, git-core Build Dependencies: pkgconfig, yasm Library Dependencies: jpeg, openjpeg, lame, libiconv, libmad, libogg, libpng, libtheora, libvorbis, lzo2, ncurses, zlib, bzip2, liboil, libdca, libfaad if I run $ port mpkg mplayer-edl It appears to bundle it with some build dependencies in there (or fetch dependencies, or what not) like python2.5. I would have expected that, since they're only build dependencies, they wouldn't be included. Is this expected behavior? Thanks! -roger- ___ macports-users mailing list macports-users@lists.macosforge.org http://lists.macosforge.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/macports-users
Fwd: Request: make the ML's default return candidate be the ML
Oops accidentally responded to individual only. (no, really I did). -- Forwarded message -- This can usually be set as default by any decent MUA. I'm sure it can. Wouldn't you agree that it would be more convenient, perhaps, for it not to have to be set by each new participant? -roger- ___ macports-users mailing list macports-users@lists.macosforge.org http://lists.macosforge.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/macports-users
feature request: tell us where the pkg is.
Hello. After running this command: $ port pkg dos2unix Warning: MacPorts running without privileges. You may be unable to complete certain actions (e.g. install). --- Computing dependencies for dos2unix --- Fetching archive for dos2unix --- Unpacking tbz2 archive for dos2unix 5.1.1_0 --- Creating pkg for dos2unix-5.1.1 I was left knowing, comfortingly, that a .pkg file had been created. Feature request: tell us *where* it was created, so we can then get to it. ex: I think this one was here: /Users/rogerdpack/.macports/opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_ports_textproc_dos2unix/dos2unix/work/dos2unix-5.1.1.pkg But I wouldn't have been able to guess that (I had anticipated it being put in my pwd, but I guess it isn't). Thank you. roger- ___ macports-users mailing list macports-users@lists.macosforge.org http://lists.macosforge.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/macports-users
specify pkg license
Is it possible to specify a license to be placed within a macports created pkg? Sorry google didn't seem to reveal an answer to this question. Thanks! -roger- ___ macports-users mailing list macports-users@lists.macosforge.org http://lists.macosforge.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/macports-users
port pkg doesn't include dependencies?
Hello all. I may be operating under the wrong assumption, but should $ port pkg XXX also include in the pkg, that port's dependencies? Or is it assumed that it was built with --enable-static, so has no dependencies? (I noticed that currently, at least for me, it doesn't seem to include any dependencies). Thanks! -roger- ___ macports-users mailing list macports-users@lists.macosforge.org http://lists.macosforge.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/macports-users
A few random usability suggestions...
Hello. I used macports today, and had a few usability suggestions/feature requests: for what they're worth :) Here goes... If I do this: $ sudo port install vlc -f I'd expect it to be a force install the equivalent of $ sudo port -f install vlc instead, it surprised me by not doing a force install. FWIW. The help syntax might be expandable a bit.. $ port help install Usage: install Installs the given ports (doesn't list any options available to the install command?) Also it seems to be missing a reinstall command...perhaps one could be added, perhaps like the equivalent of sudo port uninstall suchAndSuch sudo port clean –all suchAndSuch sudo port install suchAndSuch or the like [?] Also I would have expected this to work: $ sudo port install twolame # it installs binary twolame $ sudo port install -s twolame # it reinstalls, but from source (currently it does nothing) At least output something like twolame is already installed but, better yet, I had hoped that it would basically reinstall it, from source, realizing that its initial installation had been from a binary package. Well sorry for the flood. -roger- ___ macports-users mailing list macports-users@lists.macosforge.org http://lists.macosforge.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/macports-users
thanks for the binary builds
Hey thanks for all those binary builds--they probably saved me a heap of time today. The speed just doesn't compare it's so much faster now. Thanks! -roger- ___ macports-users mailing list macports-users@lists.macosforge.org http://lists.macosforge.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/macports-users
remove old install files (?)
Hello all. Thought. Perhaps files such as ./var/macports/software/MPlayer/MPlayer-1.0rc4_0.darwin_10.x86_64.tbz2 should be removed after a successful install to save space? -roger- ___ macports-users mailing list macports-users@lists.macosforge.org http://lists.macosforge.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/macports-users

suggestion: libjpeg-turbo
Hello. I have no experience in this domain, but thought I'd throw out the idea of using libjpeg-turbo as the default libjpeg dependency, for some added speed where used. That's all.

difficulty in determining culprit...
Hello all. Wanted to point out a point of...difficulty experienced with macports. In case anyone out there is interested in user feedback for how to make it a more friendly experience :) Got this: $ sudo port install texi2html --- Computing dependencies for texi2html --- Fetching texi2html --- Attempting to fetch texi2html-5.0.tar.bz2 from http://nongnu.askapache.com/texi2html --- Verifying checksum(s) for texi2html Error: Checksum (md5) mismatch for texi2html-5.0.tar.bz2 Error: Checksum (sha1) mismatch for texi2html-5.0.tar.bz2 Error: Checksum (rmd160) mismatch for texi2html-5.0.tar.bz2 *** The non-matching file appears to be HTML. See this page for possible reasons for the checksum mismatch: http://trac.macports.org/wiki/MisbehavingServers *** Error: Target org.macports.checksum returned: Unable to verify file checksums Log for texi2html is at: /opt/local/var/macports/logs/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_ports_textproc_texi2html/main.log Error: Status 1 encountered during processing. To report a bug, see http://guide.macports.org/#project.tickets The only problem being...this error message (nor the log file) tell me which server it used to download from, nor give me a hint as to how to use another one. Perhaps it should link to a FAQ entry that discusses this? (for followers, the file was indeed HTML, and manually downloading http://mirrors.zerg.biz/nongnu/texi2html/texi2html-5.0.tar.bz2 *over the top* of that file overcame the problem, but that was hard to figure out--attempting to reinstall always resulted in the same problem, so there didn't appear to be an easy workaround).

Re: segfault
$ sudo port installed Error: port installed failed: sqlite error: SQL logic error or missing database (1) while executing query: SELECT name FROM registry.ports WHERE id=111 No ports are installed. (I did mess with it a bit, though, so I may have done something). Do you remember what you changed? I had renamed registry.db, run this command once, then moved the bad registry.db back. After doing this, I think macports still segfaulted, so I think the problem was still present, it just didn't segfault with this command for whatever reason. This might make MacPorts think no ports are installed, though they still are, which will cause you problems. Uninstalling MacPorts cleanly, using the instructions in the Guide, and then reinstalling MacPorts and the ports you want, would clean this up. Good to know thanks! -r ___ macports-users mailing list macports-users@lists.macosforge.org http://lists.macosforge.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/macports-users
suggestion: better help on install help
Hello all. My thought is to propose that this message: $ port help install Usage: install Installs the given ports be changed to this: $ port help install Usage: install Installs the given ports. See also the variants command for options. Feedback? -r ___ macports-users mailing list macports-users@lists.macosforge.org http://lists.macosforge.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/macports-users
feature request: slightly better 'package not available' message
Hello all. I tried this the other day: $ sudo port install ack Error: Port ack not found Obviously, what I meant was $ port install p5-app-ack Perhaps it could be made to output possible matches as rubygems currently does, or, like ubuntu packages known to contain that binary or what not. That would indeed be user friendlier. Thanks much!

segfault
Hello all. Thanks for macports! This is my first post here, so not quite sure the protocol, but here's what occurred. I did a $ sudo port install wine it eventually overheated my [poorly fanned] macbook, causing a system reboot.
