#15186: port upgrade does not work correctly on current pseudo-port
---------------------------------+------------------------------------------
Reporter: raimue at macports.org | Owner: macports-tickets at lists.macosforge.org
Type: defect | Status: new
Priority: Normal | Milestone: MacPorts base bugs
Component: ports | Version: 1.6.0
Keywords: base upgrade |
---------------------------------+------------------------------------------
Instead of taking the actual porturl, macports::upgrade searches for the
port in the tree which makes the behavior totally unexpected when using
the `current` pseudo-port.
Imagine you got some directory with a Portfile outside of your ports tree
which has the same `name` as a port in the tree. Then run `port upgrade`
in this directory, and not the port from this directory is build and
installed, but the one from the tree. This is absolutely not expected
behavior.
I think `macports::upgrade` should take a porturl instead of the name of a
port.
