Re: py34-rpy2 port dependence on R...

[Russell Jones]

Generally using MacPorts with anything in /usr/local will cause 
problems, so see if R will install to another location.


You may be able to use binpaths in macports.conf in the way one can with 
MacTeX, though this relies on ports having binary rather than port name 
dependencies. Let me know if you want more details.

I have the R.app application installed from the R project which also installs

Is there a way to tell macports that I have R installed externally and get the 
py34-rpy2 port to use my installation instead of having to install the R port 
via macports? And if so, have this change persist through port upgrades…?

Re: Upgrading python from 27 to 36

[Russell Jones]

On which interpreter is used, you can control this with (IIRC) something 
like


port select --set python3 python3.6

port select --set python2 python2.7

port select --set python python2

# or "port select --set python python3" if you like

It's most flexible to say #!/usr/bin/env python2 or #!/usr/bin/env 
python3 in scripts (rather than, say, #!/opt/local/bin/python or 
#!/usr/bin/env python), as this ensures the right major version, and 
will use an enabled virtualenv's copy of the interpreter. 
#!/opt/local/bin/python3 would work too.


Don't forget there's also /usr/bin/python and /usr/bin/python2.7. These 
are best avoided.


The Apple-provided build of Python is installed in 
/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework and /usr/bin/python, 
respectively. You should never modify or delete these, as they are 
Apple-controlled and are used by Apple- or third-party software. 
Remember that if you choose to install a newer Python version from 
python.org, you will have two different but functional Python 
installations on your computer, so it will be important that your 
paths and usages are consistent with what you want to do.

Re: Holding a package at a given version

[Russell Jones]

It's not really equivalent, since the Debianoids freeze (almost all of) 
the distro at a particular version, so you don't really get dependency 
version errors in the way you do with rolling distros like MacPorts. 
You'd need to hold all the deps in the same way, and all the rdeps of 
those, etc...


You could look at 
https://trac.macports.org/wiki/howto/InstallingOlderPort to see how to 
install an older version of a port, and do it after each upgrade if 
gnuplot gets overwritten. Provided it links OK against newer libs, dep 
names haven't changed, and so on, that would link against the latest 
libs but allow use of the old version. If it didn't work, you could use 
the old Portfile as the basis for one in a local repo as Daniel suggested.

however that only works if none of the outdated ports have a
dependency on gnuplot. Is there something like:

# apt-mark hold gnulot

on Debian/Ubuntu?

Re: mpv and python

[Russell Jones]

From a quick glance at the output of "port cat mpv" it looks like it 
embeds python, and uses it to run the build tool "waf" and for doc 
generation.


set python.versions {27 34}
set python.default_version  27

...

# Set ${python.version} to the currently active variant.
foreach ver ${python.versions} {
if {[variant_isset python${ver}]} {
set python.version ${ver}
}
}

post-patch {
set python_ver_dot [join [split ${python.version} {}] "."]
reinplace -W "${worksrcpath}" 
"s|'rst2man'|'rst2man-${python_ver_dot}'|" wscript

}



It seems to have been pretty generically coded, so it may well work if 
you add 35 to the list. waf says it only works with 3.4 at 
https://github.com/waf-project/waf but maybe that's out of date?

Re: php55 extension to use __()?

But in common.php, the function definition is a fallback wrapped inside

function __($str)

So it never gets defined if php can handle __() from a predefined 
library. Which makes me think that there are two issues.


- for MacPorts php, what do I need so that the function exists.
- for phpmyadmin devs, why common.php isn't loading first.

I'll try to find some support channel for phpmyadmin to submit the 
second.

Re: How to use personal style and class files with LaTeX built through TexLive

[Russell Jones]

I use MacTeX, but for that it's ~/Library/texlive/201*/texmf-var/ I 
guess it's the same for MacPorts?


kpsepath tex | tr : "\n" | sort

should give a list of locations. Run just "kpsepath" to get a list of 
other available paths.


( FWIW, I set

binpath 
/Library/TeX/texbin/:/opt/local/bin:/opt/local/sbin:/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin


in /opt/local/etc/macports/macports.conf

This means that ports that check bin: rather than port: deps can rely on 
MacTeX instead of MacPorts-- see, e.g. 
https://trac.macports.org/ticket/49746 )

Re: Help uninstall a port

[Russell Jones]

Also consider

sudo port selfupdate && sudo port upgrade outdated

and

https://guide.macports.org/chunked/installing.macports.uninstalling.html 
(but only if you're not using anything else in MacPorts)


Have you found another way to run ROOT? What doesn't work in the 
MacPorts version?

Re: Python packages installed using pip not on PATH

[Russell Jones]

One can similarly break OS X by installing to the system Python
"The Apple-provided build of Python is installed in 
/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework and /usr/bin/python, 
respectively. You should never modify or delete these, as they are 
Apple-controlled and are used by Apple- or third-party software. 
Remember that if you choose to install a newer Python version from 
python.org, you will have two different but functional Python 
installations on your computer, so it will be important that your paths 
and usages are consistent with what you want to do." 
https://docs.python.org/2/using/mac.html


Having a secondary full Python install using Anaconda is the closest 
equivalent to MacPorts on Linux, though there are pros and cons relative 
to virtualenvs + -dev packages. Once the metadata issues on Linux are 
sorted, allowing pre-built binary wheels (already available on Windows 
and OS X) I'd say virtualenvs will have the edge.


The main thing I've run into with virtualenvs on both platforms is 
having the relevant development libraries available, and MacPorts deals 
with this well in a lot of cases.

Re: Python packages installed using pip not on PATH

[Russell Jones]

It depends on the use case, but with Python often it's worth using a 
virtualenv with a requirements.txt, the commands are virtualenv-2.7 and 
pyvenv-3.4 in MacPorts. This allows better reproduceability and it's 
fairly easy to start the setup again with a fresh virtualenv. I think 
Ruby has at least one equivalent. I don't know about Perl. With Python's 
pip, there's also the --user flag, but it's less easy to clean up and 
start again or have multiple set-ups.

Is anyone else having this problem? The ticket below would suggest so, though 
it may be a different problem from mine.

http://trac.macports.org/ticket/30306

 It's suggested that one build with clang rather than llvm-gcc42, but it's not 
explained how to ask MacPorts to do that. I guess one could port select one, 
but shouldn't it be set by the Portfile? Or is there some other way?

I can kind of see why you wouldn't want this on principle, but could you 
elaborate? Why should a user have to select which version of python they want 
for every package, when in the majority of cases the same version will be 
desired? Having a default doesn't exclude exceptions.

I guess the main problem would be the case where a user switches back and forth 
constantly between selections, making it a poor basis for variant selection.

If one port selects gcc-mp-4.5, say, doesn't that mean it will be used as the 
system gcc, and so to compile ports? I can see that's undesirable (inconsistent 
packages, untested toolchains, etc)

On the other hand, if a user selected +as_python for a bunch of ports as a 
deliberate (and hopefully comprehended) action because they want to have only 
one place where they set the python version, I think such problems would be 
avoided.

Or simpler for the user (perhaps) have an "as_python" option, the default (this

version of python, e.g. python2.7 -> pylint-2.7 (or however it's written in the

The only change to this stuff in 2.0 is that we have privilege dropping
turned on in macports.conf.default and create a user at install time to
use with it. You can already set macportsuser to whatever (existent)
user you like in 1.9.

You can also set whatever ownership you like on the prefix. If a user
has sufficient privileges to write to files in the prefix, they don't
have to use sudo to install ports. The macportsuser setting is only used
when port is started as root. (Can't drop privileges you don't have.)

Ah, I see. That's good to hear. When building packages under linux, root (or 
fakeroot) privileges are sometimes required. I thought there might be similar 
issues with building source under MacPorts.

If you noticed the number in square brackets next to the process when you

Hi Ryan,

I will just use the gcc 4.4 in the ports to bootstrap gcc 4.5.2, avoiding the 
older gcc that Apple provides.

I used to do a lot builds and packaging of GNU and other free software in Sun 
Solaris (SPARC/UltraSPARC hosts mostly) for the company I worked for, so I am 
used to this kind of activities.  Since I am at it, I might as well do it all 
way, building the compiler first and every other library that etherape depends.

I know it's tedious, and see this as a last resort but if I need to, I will do 
it (built etherape from "scratch" in Solaris before and it worked)

Best,

-- Zack

Certainly if you wish to install gcc45 for other purposes you can do so, but 
I'm not sure what this has to do with etherape. The etherape port does not have 
a dependency on gcc45, and will not use it even if it is present; it will use 
the gcc provided in Apple's Xcode, just like most other ports do.

In the general case of a port you have installed, yes. I use:

where you would replace "PORTNAME" with the name of the port you want to know

RE: finding size of port

[Russell Jones]

If you have access to a system with it installed, you could use the following 
to get the size in kilobytes

port contents texlive-latex-extra | xargs file | grep -vE ": directory$" | cut 
-d: -f1 | xargs du -k | cut -f1 | paste -s -d "+" - | bc

How does one find the size of a port/package?

Say I instaleld tex-live medium and want to install texlive-latex-extra but I 
am worried that my SD only has 2 GB left.
How can check the size of texlive-latex-extra to see if it is worth it?

Thanks

I installed kdebase4 in order to use the dolphin file manager.  I prefer

randomly for this view!  I have attached a screenshot.  Do other see
this behavior?  Any thoughts for a fix?  I tried changing the font and

neither helped.  A google search didn't turn up anything, either.

I have been having issues making png's from pdf's using ghostscript
which depends on libpng.
This is on a system that has been making png's from pdf's a hundred
times a day for over a year.

This happened after upgrading ghostscript to 9.00.

Reverting back to ghostscript 8.71_5 and we are working again.

I don't know that libpng 1.5.0 is part of my issue but it may be.

RE: Why does MacPorts Mercurial behave differently from Windows Mercurial?

Subject: Why does MacPorts Mercurial behave differently from Windows Mercurial?

I've been working my way through the book _Mercurial: The Definitive Guide_.  
When I try the example that runs from here

http://hgbook.red-bean.com/read/collaborating-with-other-people.html#id371865

to here

http://hgbook.red-bean.com/read/collaborating-with-other-people.html#id372450

using the MacPorts version of Mercurial, I get results that are different from 
what the book says I should get.  When I use the Windows version of Mercurial, 
I get what's in the book.

The difference arises with the last box.  When I do the "hg merge" part using 
Windows Mercurial, I get what the author gets:

C:> hg merge
merging myfile
0 files updated, 1 files merged, 0 files removed, 0 files unresolved
(branch merge, don't forget to commit)

But when I use MacPorts Mercurial, I get a merge conflict, and I have to merge 
the changes manually:

$ hg merge
merging myfile
warning: conflicts during merge.
merging myfile failed!
0 files updated, 0 files merged, 0 files removed, 1 files unresolved
use 'hg resolve' to retry unresolved file merges or 'hg update -C .' to 
abandon

I've created a simplified series of commands that should let you reproduce the 
issue:

hg init main
cd main
echo This is a boring feature. > myfile
hg commit -A -m "We have reached an important milestone"
hg tag v1.0
echo This is exciting and new! >> myfile
hg commit -m "Add a new feature"
cd ..
hg clone -rv1.0 main stable
cd stable
echo This is a fix to a boring feature. > myfile
hg commit -m "Fix a bug"
cd ../main
hg pull ../stable
hg merge

On Windows, you'd have to change the forward slashes to backslashes, but 
otherwise the commands should work as is on both platforms.

Can anyone explain the difference?  Is it a bug in the MacPorts version of 
Mercurial?

I'm using Mercurial 1.7.3 on both platforms.  I also experienced the merge 
conflict when I used version 1.7.2 of MacPorts Mercurial.

Note libpng was just updated to 1.4.5, not 1.5.0, partly due to the 
aforementioned vulnerability shown on the libpng web site.

Since the request to update to 1.4.x had been outstanding for over a year [1], 
I think we're unlikely to roll this back now. Please file tickets for ports you 
find that are broken and we will deal with them on a case by case basis.

It runs on port  by default, and so I don't think it interacts as such. If 
you tried to run it on port 22, it wouldn't start until you disabled the built

always auto-restart on Mac OS X.

RE: Compiling Java 6 on 10.5.8

I meant Java Preferences in /Applications/Utilities
AIUI, Sun released as much as they could as GPL without violating third party

predates this, OpenJDK which is Sun's release IIRC, and Iced Tea which I think 
is an attempt to fill in the gaps in OpenJDK with Classpath and new code. 
That's from memory and I have the idea the story is even more complicated than 
that. I'd imagine Wikipedia has the details.

Hey everyone,

I normally install R from http://r.research.att.com/, but on my fresh
install of Mac OS X, I thought I'd give the MacPorts version a try. No
compelling reason for the switch. Just figured it might consolidate my
software updates and I'm not a huge fan of the OS X GUI in any case.
Anyway, I'm having issues installing. It seems like R itself builds,
but when installing the recommended package MASS, there's an error
opening a connection somewhere. I've attached the build log. Here are
the last few lines from the terminal:

I'm not saying that that is an inappropriate thing to do, it's just
that the whole point of using the macports versions of the extra

or otherwise unfeasible to make it work, then we might as well not
bother and tell people to use the local tree, perhaps that is what you
are suggesting... but I think that "port install texlive-latex-extra"
is easier than setting up your local tree for many users.

It would be good if macports had functional parity with MacTeX, given 
that all the relevant porting problems seem to have been solved. Would 
it make sense to work with them? Perhaps it could all get made into 
portfiles? Maybe it should even be distributed as a custom macports 
installer that detects if macports is already installed and uses that or 
adds it as required. Has this ever been raised with them? At present 
their FAQ just says to put their install in /usr/local/ first in the 
path to get it working with macports.

I am trying to get LyX @1.6.7_0+python25 (active) to be configured to use

The Mac lyx website

http://wiki.lyx.org/FAQ/MacInstall

says to use:
Installing document classes that are "Unavailable"

The "Document class" setting has a pop-up menu of many classes. At the end
of the list are the "Unavailable" classes which are ones that LyX knows
about but doesn't have the .cls file for. Let's say you want to make the
"article (Springer LNCS)" class become available. First download the archive
of LaTeX2e files from their
site.
Then install the files therein to your TeX installation. If you installed
TeX using MacPorts/DarwinPorts, you can do this by unzipping that directory
to /opt/local/share/texmf-dist/tex/latex/llncs2e. Then run `sudo texhash` to
let the system know about them. Then run LyX and choose Reconfigure from the
application menu and restart. When you start again, the document class
should be available.


But on my machine:

ls /opt/local/share/texmf-dist

ls: /opt/local/share/texmf-dist: No such file or directory

So now I look for a texmf:
ls /opt/local/share/texmf*
/opt/local/share/texmf:
ls-R  web2c

/opt/local/share/texmf-texlive:
asymptote dvipdfm   dvips ls-R  tex   texdocttf2pkxdvi
doc   dvipdfmx  fonts scripts   texconfig texdoctk  web2c xindy

/opt/local/share/texmf-texlive-dist:
bibtexdoc   fonts makeindex metapost  omega sourcevtex
context   dvips ls-R  metafont  mft   scripts   tex

So, which one is my current Lyx using?
 /opt/local/share/texmf-texlive-dist/tex/latex seems to have quite a bit
more than the non-dist.  With this current set up, many standard classes are
not available.  These (such as RevTex or SIAM) are usually there when one
installs MacTex-Live: http://www.tug.org/mactex/2009/

What am I missing or doing incorrect?

Re: MacPorts 1.9.0-beta2 now available for testing

[Russell Jones]

Source code and disk images for MacPorts 1.9.0-beta2 are now

While there are no known regressions from 1.8.2 at this point, be
prepared to encounter bugs. Please report any that you find [2] (after
first searching Trac [3], of course!)

There are a large number of changes in this release. See the ChangeLog
[4] for a list of most of them. You may like to focus your testing on
the new features in that list, as well as your normal usage.

Notable changes since beta1 are:
 * Fix for a bug where dependencies that could be satisfied by more than
one port would sometimes incorrectly not be considered to be satisfied
(ticket #24808)
 * Fixed registry conversion failure when an installed port has been
force activated (ticket #24880)
 * Fixed "too many open files" error when installing many ports in a
single command (ticket #24857)

See the beta1 announcement [5] for information about switching to the
new registry format
Thanks for the update. How long will 1.8.2 remain supported? Will there 
be a transition period, or will one have to switch from 1.8 to 1.9 
straight away on its release?

Nothing unless someone chooses to do something. That's what 
"unmaintained" means. The implication is that you might consider 
maintaining the port. Have a look at

When you find a port that needs to be updated, you should file a port update
request in the issue tracker. In this case, such a request has already been
filed:

http://trac.macports.org/ticket/22474




It would be wonderful if ports where regularly updated.
  

Many of our ports are regularly updated. Unfortunately libvmime is one of

RE: Port problem: GitX

There isn't anything precompiled in macports, I thought.
Is there a reason not to use git-core? Could you modify that port to have a 
+universal variant?

On occasion, I do need to do universal compiles. For example, I'm the
only person who is interested in UfoAI that can compile PPC/i386 for
distribution of the test/debug versions.

As I discovered last year, in order to do a universal compile,
EVERYTHING needs to be universal. If there was even one piece already
installed that did not have +universal, it would fail; the best and
simplest solution was to just put +universal on everything.

In fairness, this was either right at the switch to 1.8, or the last
of the 1.7 branches; things may have been patched since then.

As it is, I'm trying to get ahold of a project (Dasher) that is only
available via git; there is no precompiled mac version of Dasher
(yet), nor is there apparently a precompiled version of git.

So, I'm making a universal version of git that can then be distributed
(hopefully/maybe); followed by a universal version of Dasher that
can/will be.

So, to give away universal versions of:
UfoAI
Dasher
Git (?)
I need to compile universal even though I only run PPC.

RE: no module named vtk

[Russell Jones]

As a side note, it's always worth running
port variants 
when considering installing 
That way you can pick from the list and not have to guess, though of course 
variant names should be consistent. Have you encountered ports that have +py26 
as a variant? Sounds like it might be an error by the packager.

Ah, I see. Thank you very much Frank. That solved my problem. Just by

RE: Open LDAP +universal won't build on 10.6.2

[Russell Jones]

Now working, thanks!
So the problem was that openldap didn't depend on icu?

I'm fixing this momentarily. Please wait an hour, then "sudo port selfupdate" 
and try again.

Open LDAP +universal won't build on 10.6.2

[Russell Jones]

Hello all,

 

I filed a bug in trac ( http://trac.macports.org/ticket/23300 ) about this a 
few days ago. Anyone able to shed some light on why it doesn't work? It wasn't 
clear to me from the debug output. Something to do with the wrong type of 
libraries being created for the storage back-ends, it seems. I can't see why it 
happens or what to do about it. I suppose the +aci variant is irrelevant? Is 
any further information needed?
