I’m glad my idea wasn’t as silly as I had thought. Maybe this will go somewhere. I needed to build clang locally because I use the +analyzer variant. Maybe this variant could be made default, since it has no performance impacts and shouldn’t cause any problems for users who ignore the

Idea: Port Checks for Disk Space Before Compiling?

2016-08-10 Thread Jean-François Caron
This keeps happening. My laptop’s hard drive has only a few (~5) gigs of space left, and I foolishly decide this is a good time to upgrade clang. Turns out clang needs infinite space (kidding) to compile, so about 30 minutes into the compilation my computer tries to warn me that the disk is

Hi, we’re telling our Mac-owning students to use MacPorts in a university course that uses python, and we’ve had a weird issue. One student’s hard drive was full, but instead of giving a useful error message, MacPorts just downloads as much as it can, then cancels and tries to download from

Two User-Experience Problems

Hi, I have two questions/opinions regarding an annoyance when upgrading ports: 1) I want ports to build in parallel when possible, but I’d like to select a maximum number of cores assigned to the job. My CPU has 8 cores with hyperthreading, and when upgrading e.g. clang, my OS and apps are

Leaves but considering Build Dependencies?

Hi, I’m wondering if MacPorts has an equivalent to “port echo leaves” but which only returns ports which are not runtime OR build dependencies of any requested ports. This would be useful so that a user wouldn’t need to manually set things like autoconf and cmake as “requested” in order to
