#27747: readline-5: let to install libreadline.dylib (allow linking from GPLv2
programs)
----------------------------------+-----------------------------------------
Reporter: kimuraw@… | Owner: macports-tickets@…
Type: enhancement | Status: new
Priority: Normal | Milestone:
Component: ports | Version: 1.9.2
Keywords: | Port: readline-5
----------------------------------+-----------------------------------------
The current version of port:readline-5 installs only header files. I hope
port:readline-5 to provide .dylib files.
The license of readline was changed to GPLv3+ from GPLv2+ at version 6.
Programs licensed under GPLv2, such as "ruby", cannot link readline-6.x.
I make a patch to provide .dylib files. The patched port installs
- header files: ${prefix}/include/readline5
- library files: ${prefix}/lib/readline5
I've checked no ports depends on port:readline-5. So I think this change
do not have problems.
