That would involve changing the default rsync_options in macports.conf to include "-l", then releasing a new version of MacPorts, then hoping that no user had modified that setting. I'm not sure if there are any security or other negative implications of using the "-l" option. Generally we just copy the patch into each port where it's needed. > One other question, does updating any file in a port directory, e.g. > zeroc-ice35/, cause a rebuild, or just modifying the Portfile? Only the Portfile. _______________________________________________ macports-dev mailing list macports-dev@lists.macosforge.org https://lists.macosforge.org/mailman/listinfo/macports-dev
