#32637: I have never encoutered a worse packaging system
-----------------------------+----------------------------------------------
Reporter: j@… | Owner: macports-tickets@…
Type: defect | Status: new
Priority: High | Milestone:
Component: ports | Version: 2.0.3
Keywords: | Port: does not apply
-----------------------------+----------------------------------------------
#1:
$ sudo port selfupdate
Warning: port definitions are more than two weeks old, consider using
selfupdate
I just did, dumbass. Fix your errors.
#2:
Error: /opt/local/bin/port: port selfupdate failed: Error installing new
MacPorts base: shell command failed (see log for details)
WHAT LOG? WHAT .... LOG? Very NOT-helpful. Again, fix your %&*($)%#(*
errors.
#3:
Warning: Xcode does not appear to be installed; most ports will likely
fail to build.
YOU ARE A LIAR - I do in fact have XCode installed. WHY would it appear in
spotlight if it werent installed??
Seriously, get your brains together AND REPAIR THIS, this thing is a POS.
If by some chance, I have done something wrong, how about doing some
better development on your upgrade strategy. For example, try NOT to
SCREW OVER people who have been using ports for a longtime without
incident. For God's sake , put some more helpful errors in your code so
we know WTF do to instead of having to Google the issue for hours. Jesus
flipping christmas.
