Thank you. This is the part that I was hoping is automatic, without updating a revision: the depends_lib would see that the “library” that the port depends upon has been updated, and rebuilds itself because of the updated library dependency. All without modification of the Portfile. I infer from your response that this isn’t how depends_lib works. > On May 16, 2022, at 14:19, Ryan Schmidt <ryandes...@macports.org> wrote: > > On May 12, 2022, at 18:04, Steven Smith wrote: >> >> I tried to write privoxy-pki-bundle to have these two basic behaviors: >> >> • Updates to the file ${prefix}/share/curl/curl-ca-bundle.crt via port >> curl-ca-bundle will force reinstallation of the CA file >> ${prefix}/etc/privoxy/CA/trustedCAs.pem with the new CAs. >> • port install privoxy-pki-bundle will generate this CA file from source; >> MacPorts will not use a buildbot to create and save an (inevitably outdated) >> file of CAs to be installed when this port is installed. >> >> Apparently, neither of these behaviors is working, as I see from the recent >> update of curl-ca-bundle. >> >> I’d appreciate any pointers to get this port configured and working the way >> it should to make sure that CAs are automatically updated, and old CAs >> aren’t installed. > > I don't understand exactly what you're asking for.
