----------------------------------+-----------------------------------------
 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.
