Re: MacPorts 2.0.0-beta1 now available for testing
From the changelog: 83 - Port images are now stored as archives. Archive mode is now effectively 84always on. Among other benefits, this fixes some bugs with the handling 85of hard links installed by ports (e.g. #13601). 86 87Direct mode is no longer available. Existing port image directories, and 88installed files for direct mode, will be converted to archives when 89upgrading. What is archive mode? ___ macports-users mailing list macports-users@lists.macosforge.org http://lists.macosforge.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/macports-users

Archive mode packages the destroot before installing and then stores this archive (as a tarball I think by default). You can then transfer these packages to another MacPorts installation and MP will untar and install the package contents without having to recompile. At least, that's my usage. By removing image mode (ports are installed by hardlinking into destroot) the size of a MacPorts installation will increase a bit, but a few issues related to the use of hardlinking are resolved. -- arno s hautala /-| a...@alum.wpi.edu pgp b2c9d448 ___ macports-users mailing list macports-users@lists.macosforge.org http://lists.macosforge.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/macports-users

We have to install on the boot disk because /Volumes/something/opt/local is not the same as /opt/local. We set the appropriate flags to let Installer know this. I don't know why it bothers displaying the button to change the install location when it knows you can't. - Josh ___ macports-users mailing list macports-users@lists.macosforge.org http://lists.macosforge.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/macports-users

The behavior of that button is defined by Apple's Installer framework, and the only things it can control are the select volume dialog and maybe the install for current/all users (in the rare packages that support it). Even if the MacPorts devs chose to support it, it could not be co-opted to change the install prefix from /opt/local to something else. -- brandon s allbery allber...@gmail.com wandering unix systems administrator (available) (412) 475-9364 vm/sms ___ macports-users mailing list macports-users@lists.macosforge.org http://lists.macosforge.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/macports-users
MacPorts 2.0.0-beta1 now available for testing
Source code and disk images for MacPorts 2.0.0-beta1 are now available [1]. Testing of either of these install methods is helpful. While there are no known regressions from 1.9.2 at this point, be prepared to encounter bugs. As always, having a recent backup would be wise. Please report any bugs 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. Cheers, Josh [1] https://distfiles.macports.org/MacPorts/testing/ [2] https://trac.macports.org/newticket [3] https://trac.macports.org/search [4] https://trac.macports.org/browser/branches/release_2_0/base/ChangeLog ___ macports-users mailing list macports-users@lists.macosforge.org http://lists.macosforge.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/macports-users
