That's part of the system libraries on macOS.

tool for software security check?

[Richard L. Hamilton]

Saw https://owasp.org/www-project-dependency-check/ 


and that it can run on Macs given that homebrew seems to support it.

If there was a macports port of it, could that be run on macports ports (maybe 
even on the buildbots) to make sure that known vulnerability issues (fixable 
with updates, perhaps) aren't missed?

P.S. I did install the Macports port pth, but that does not seem to satisfy the 
math program "surf" configure.

How install POSIX Threads / glibc2?

[Murray Eisenberg]

I'm trying to build the non-Macports math program "surf" from  
http://surf.sourceforge.net. This is a tool to visualize algebraic curves and 
surfaces -- and NOT the program "surf" from Macports. (The latter is just a 
simple web bnowser._

Among the dependencies required for this math program "surf" ks "POSIX Threads 
(glibc2 on Linux)".

How can I get that dependency from Macports? I don't see directly any such 
"glibc2" among the ports.

rebuilding / upgrading a package at the same version

[Riccardo Mottola via macports-users]

Hi,

how can I rebuild a port without it being detected as "upgrade" because 
it stays at the same version?
It may happen because rev-upgrade detects it but fails to build (e.g. 
want to change the compiler) or because for some strange reason 
rev-upgrade fails to detect and I want to rebuild it anyway.


upgrade maintains variants and also the status if the package was 
requested or not, as well as not needing to mess with dependencies.
