https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D225496 Bug ID: 225496 Summary: ports-mgmt/portmaster: sometimes gratuitously removes ports Product: Ports & Packages Version: Latest Hardware: Any OS: Any Status: New Severity: Affects Only Me Priority: --- Component: Individual Port(s) Assignee: se@FreeBSD.org Reporter: d8zNeCFG@aon.at Flags: maintainer-feedback?(se@FreeBSD.org) Assignee: se@FreeBSD.org Since changing portmaster to support flavors, it sometimes gratuitously rem= oves ports; it seems when a new one is a prefix of an existing one. For example, with the following installed ports, gcc-ecj-4.5 gcc6-6.4.0_3 gccmakedep-1.0.3 executing 'portmaster lang/gcc' results in gcc-ecj-4.5 being removed and gc= c-6 being installed. The correct operation would have been to just install gcc-6 and leave gcc-ecj-4.5 unchanged. --- That said, many thanks to all who worked hard to keep portmaster usable even with the very intrusive flavor changes. For a while (when portmaster did not work anymore due to flavors) I developed my own upgrade script, so I know pretty well all the pitfalls of FLAVORS and FLAVOR and determining the flav= or of old ports which don't have one yet etc. --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.=
