In response to your question maybe both but certainly I feel the ImageMagick's makefile should check whether the installed version of OpenEXR necessitates the issue of a warning. The Issue of inappropriate warnings by any port is, IMHO, a bug. > > portupgrade ought to proceed despite the warnings -- if there is no way to > force it, that's a bug. But I do not maintain portupgrade I do not agree. The purpose of a warning is to ensure that installation cannot proceed without human interbvention. If every application issued inappropriate warning then would not the entire ports system grind to a halt? A philosophy of warn unless "test valid" is appropriate here. > :( > > = Just a further point the maintainer of OpenEXR seems to be suggesting > that = the warning in regard to OpenEXR may be out of date.. perhaps > ImageMagick's = Makefile needs some modification in the light of the recent > changes to = OpenEXR.. > > He is almost right -- the latest OpenEXR does not use threads /by default/. The focus IMHO needs to be on what is actually installed. not on what is installed by default. In my case both perl and OpenEXR are installed with threads. > But it /may/ still use them (it remains an option) and the previous version > of OpenEXR usually does use them, because that used to be a default... > > Yours, > > -mi That is what I would like to see but I am only one pebble on the beach <chuckles> david ------------------------------------------------------- _______________________________________________ freebsd-ports@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
