Right, that should have been sufficient as well. But should I change it now and increment the revision one more time? There are also other ports using absolute paths for symlinks and I don't think it is wrong to do so. The ${prefix} is not intended to be relocatable. Do you see any problem with absolute symlink paths? For example from my MacPorts installation: $ find /opt/local/bin -type l |wc -l 200 $ find /opt/local/bin -type l |xargs readlink |grep ^/opt/local |wc -l 60 Rainer _______________________________________________ macports-dev mailing list macports-dev@lists.macosforge.org http://lists.macosforge.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/macports-dev
