After the changes to the "file delete" implementation, the installation of ncurses fails because it tries to follow the target of a symbolic link. By reversing the order of the arguments from delete ${destroot}${prefix}/share ${destroot}${prefix}/lib/terminfo into delete ${destroot}${prefix

Oh hrm, it didn't occur to me that this would happen, but I know exactly why. However, I'm on vacation. Can this wait a week? It's a problem that only affects trunk. On May 3, 2007, at 5:40 AM, Guido Soranzio wrote: After the changes to the "file delete" implementation, the installation

Why can't we get the work-around committed for now? A lot of things depend on ncurses, and it's a fallacy to assume that a lot of people don't track trunk and it can be safely broken for periods of time. :-( - Jordan On May 3, 2007, at 3:06 PM, Kevin Ballard wrote: Oh hrm, it didn't occur

If I understand Guido's suggestion, the workaround is to the Portfile, not to trunk, right? Who wants to fix it? James On May 8, 2007, at 1:04 AM, Jordan K. Hubbard wrote: AFAIK, the fix hasn't even been committed to trunk yet... - Jordan On May 8, 2007, at 1:01 AM, Ryan Schmidt wrote: M

That's not actually a fix. You should revert it, then change it to two different commands a - delete for the real folder, and a 'file delete' for the symlink. The reason this isn't a fix is it will not delete the symlink this way. I'll commit a fix to trunk for the 'delete' command in a few
