MacPorts 1.5.11 (Fwd: [27780] branches/release_1_5/base)

[Juan Manuel Palacios]

	Hello everyone! I just merged revisions r27709, r27710, r27711,  
r27719, r27720, r27773, r27779, comprising the latest work on mtree  
violations, into the release_1_5 branch in r27780, to make up for  
1.5.11 very soon now. So soon that I could go ahead and release right  
now (all that's pending is just tagging and re-pointing the base/ 
config/RELEASE_URL file), but I want to make sure we have this thing  
nailed down and done right before going for 1.5.11 in order to avoid  
having to tell users to upgrade a third time (1.5.11 will be the  
second ;-)

	So, what's our status? I like the mtree violations feature a lot,  
dubbing it the trace mode compliment for cleanly building &  
installing ports, but it does seem a bit harsh to me to make its  
efect fatal errors (as expressed to mww on IRC yesterday). Are we  
gonna stay with warnings in the long run or just temporarily (until  
we see our ports tree cleansed of weird installation paths)? Also,  
are we gonna stick with a whitelist of "allowed paths" or go for a  
black one of "forbidden paths", as Landon suggested in a recent post?

	In short, are we good to go for 1.5.11 for the time being? (even if  
its fixes are only temporary).
	
	Regards,...
