Re: force rebuild a port
How about port -n upgrade --force --no-rev-upgrade crankyport It might not work if crankyport needs the latest of something it depends on and that isn't already up-to-date. But a lot of times, it does work. > On Mar 6, 2024, at 15:14, Bill Cole > wrote: > > On 2024-03-06 at 14:19:59 UTC-0500 (Wed, 6 Mar 2024 20:19:59 +0100) > Riccardo Mottola via macports-users > is rumored to have said: > >> Hi! >> >> suppose I want to rebuild a port, but it has no version update. >> 1) e.g. rev-upgrade shows it to be rebuild but "port outdated" doesn't show >> it. >> 2) Or I want to rebuild it with a different compiler. >> >> How can I do?

How can I do? "port upgrade X" will do nothing because X is not outdated. "port upgrade --force X" will upgrade all dependencies, which is a little too much... 1) in my case has issues because it wants to rebuild many packages and starts with one that breaks, so it never gets to the next one.

force rebuild a port
Hi! suppose I want to rebuild a port, but it has no version update. 1) e.g. rev-upgrade shows it to be rebuild but "port outdated" doesn't show it. 2) Or I want to rebuild it with a different compiler. How can I do? "port upgrade X" will do nothing because X is not outdated. "port upgrade --force X" will upgrade all dependencies, which is a little too much... 1) in my case has issues because it wants to rebuild many packages and starts with one that breaks, so it never gets to the next one. I tried using "-p" but apparently it is not respected for "port -p rev-upgrade" and still dies. Riccardo
mozjs102
Will there ever be a mozjs102 port for the Sonoma version of MacPorts 2.9.1? I can't install Glade without it. On the MacPorts bugs re mozjs102 page there's a big red 'X' near the Sonoma version. Any plans for an update? Greg./
