Yeah, and I meant that sticking to that policy will cause bloat and headaches: dependency 'openssl' has license 'OpenSSL' which conflicts with license 'gpl' I don't think that the "drawbacks of this policy are minimal", but if you want to avoid /usr and /usr/local at all costs the port in question is now fixed... depends_lib path:lib/python2.5/site-packages/rpm/__init__.py:rpm port:python25 You still have to make decision about the rpm support one day, but maybe later ? --anders _______________________________________________ macports-dev mailing list [email protected] https://lists.macosforge.org/mailman/listinfo/macports-dev
