GSoC - Dynamic Libraries

[Jordan Schneider]

Rainer, Ryan, thank you for the feedback. I understand what needs to be accomplished for this specific proposal, but I have some more questions on the implementation.

Please correct me if I'm wrong, but from looking at some Portfiles, I don't see any information identifying ports as being dynamic libraries. Would it be necessary to implement a line in the Portfiles for dynamic libraries flagging them as such, or would there be a better method of determining which ports to automatically run the rev-upgrade command for?

Alternatively, would it be foolish for rev-upgrade to treat all ports the same and just check all of a port's dependents for linker errors?

Thanks,
Jordan

I'm glad to hear this, as I would love to become an ongoing contributor to MacPorts beyond SoC.
