[122522] trunk/dports/science/nds2-client/Portfile

[Michael Dickens]

I think there's a bug in the way port does "outdated", or maybe an enhancement is needed in this regard.  I wanted to patch nds2-client via:

{{{
Index: Portfile
===================================================================
--- Portfile	(revision 122521)
+++ Portfile	(working copy)

     # The Octave dependency can be satisfied by either octave or octave-devel.
     depends_lib-append              path:bin/octave:octave

 }
 
 set need_sqlite 0
}}}

which just bumps the revision if octave is required, either via the +mex_octave or +swig_octave variant.  With this change, "port outdated" does not show that this port needs to be updated.  If I move the "revision" into the 2 variants, I get the same result.  I did execute "portindex" between these commands to make sure the change was registered; the only version that worked is the one I committed.

So, it seems like "port outdated" is not checking for updates via the installed variants, just the core port / subport without variants.

Since this port is pretty small, I just moved the revision to the top-level.  But, this would be an interesting enhancement IMHO if it is not a bug. - MLD
