https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=198656 --- Comment #11 from John Marino <marino@FreeBSD.org> --- (In reply to nbari from comment #10) > 1. The current maintainer seems to not be interested on riak2 I've addressed this several times now. I said it's possible the current maintainer of databases/riak would transfer the port's maintainership to you. This is not a show-stopper. > 2. My ports works only for riak 2, without breaking riak 1, > riak1 != riak2, they are different. try to think/see this like > the lang/phpX port at the end is all php but they offer different features. I've asked this question several times now, and you still haven't answered it. Is riak2 backwards compatible? This means, can riak2 import a riak database and work? There are no ports that use riak in the tree right now. You are talking about a future port. I am saying: upgrade databases/riak to version 2, and then your future ports would use database/riak. Where is the problem? The only thing that I can see that requires 2 riak ports is if there are out-of-tree ports that have to have riak1 and cannot use riak2 (which would mean it's an extremely poorly designed database but possible) > 3. riak2 needs custom source from bashio (I can't change that) therefor > I can't use an existing erlang port. As I have now explained erlang to you no less than 3 times, it's amazing to me that you just said that. It means you aren't comprehending anything I'm saying. > If I am wrong or it is not clear to you, please explain me with more detail > what is, that makes things more complicated? like I say I really don't > understand why to many hassle for something extremely easy to solve from my > point of view. It seems to be a waste of time to keep "explaining" things. You aren't getting what I've been saying. I am not the one that is "unclear". > Maybe because of this lack of flexibility, Bashio invested more time creating > a pkg rather than a port, I really I don't know, but like I said, I just > would like to learn and if possible help having a port, at least some code > is made and is working, the rest depends more on users with more experience. ports is not an educational sandbox. We don't create unnecessary ports that will someday need to be maintained because the maintainer leaves. After all these comments, I still have been been told why databases/riak cannot be upgraded to version 2 (other than the current maintainer won't do it). Can you find a web page that explicitly says riak2 is not backwards compatible with riak1 so that I'll know for sure? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
