1) We still need a policy decision as to whether is should be hardcoded as now -or- we'll use my proposal that I consider more fully developed regarding future releases of Perl 2) It's not that difficult to do on a mass basis : a loop over the ports affected & som 'sed'-ing ought to fix it. I've got the basic scripting done, so a few hours work from my side & everything ought to be ready for distribution As to the scripting, it's basically a question of me sticthing 4 of my scripts together for a solution to this problem - not matter wheter we go with a hardcoded solution -or- my proposal. :-) -- Bjarne D Mathiesen København N ; Danmark ; Europa ---------------------------------------------------------------------- denne besked er skrevet i et totalt M$-frit miljø MacOS X 10.7.3 Lion ; 2.8GHz Intel Core i7 ; 16GB 1067MHz DDR3 _______________________________________________ macports-dev mailing list macports-dev@lists.macosforge.org http://lists.macosforge.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/macports-dev
