I have some local ports I use to quickly configure new servers. They are
basically lists of dependencies that pull in what the specific server
function requires, such as mail server or web server.
Recently, my local package builder (using poudriere) started rebuilding a
couple of ports every run claiming "new dependency" was found.
I traced it down to the following RUN_DEPENDS:
emacs>=23.3:${PORTSDIR}/editors/emacs-nox11 \
This was confusing the dependency registration of the port; that is, "make
depends" would notice it needed emacs, then install it. However, when "make
install" would run, the resulting package did not register the dependency
for emacs. The fix was to remove the ">=23.3" version check. My suspicion
is that it has something to do with emacs-nox11 being a slave port.
Similarly, this RUN_DEPENDS caused markdown-mode.el to be unregistered the
same way (it installed the dependency, but did not register it):
textproc/markdown-mode.el:${PORTSDIR}/textproc/markdown-mode.el \
The fix for this situation is to add ">0" as a version dependency. I do not
know why this started to fail recently.
Also, the following LIB_DEPENDS results in the same situation: the
dependency gets installed but not registered:
LIB_DEPENDS= tcnative-1:${PORTSDIR}/www/tomcat-native
Looking at other ports, it seems that I now need to change the library to
LIB_DEPENDS= libtcnative-1.so:${PORTSDIR}/www/tomcat-native
which resolves the registration of the dependency. Again, I do not know
when this format was changed, but it is relatively recently. It did work
when I first used this in October 2013 and I'm fairly certain it was
working at least in November 2014.
