'make deinstall' will only match the exact version you've * got in your ports tree, for instance. (I hope I'm not wrong here...) That is correct, but what does that have to do with port dependencies? :) * > (By the way, If someone can make think of a way to make packages depend * > smarter, I want to hear it!) * * Check for versions. Version should be split after last -, and then compared * group by group, numeric compare if numbers, value-compare if alphabetical. * This would require us to re-number ports that consider versions as * fractions. That's not what I meant. How do I describe the dependencies in the Makefiles (hopefully without having to add anything to the current *_DEPENDS), and how do we check things like shared libraries, etc. Satoshi To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
