Comment (by michaelld):
oh wow ... the [https://github.com/macports/macports-
base/commit/7921b2e05e9a4c9cda6efedee496affb305dcc07 commit being reverted
(7921b2e05)] is from December 29, 2017 at 10:54:09 AM EST ... can't say
I'm happy about that reversion given that it will break ports like cmake.
The [https://github.com/macports/macports-
base/commit/ffdb7d9ee9e59e9d69a2f29ac08dfd5090f84759 commit message for
the reversion] says `This change silently broke an unknown number of ports
due to different behaviour of symlinks vs directories. See e.g. slime,
scm_breeze. The reversion may also break things, but at least they'll give
an error rather than silently installing nothing but a broken link.` So
... the original commit broke stuff, and reverting it also breaks stuff
... which is worse? hmmm ...
