#66687: cmake-bootstrap: Remove notes
------------------------+-----------------------------
Reporter: ryandesign | Owner: (none)
Type: defect | Status: new
Priority: Normal | Milestone:
Component: ports | Version:
Keywords: | Port: cmake-bootstrap
------------------------+-----------------------------
Installing the cmake-bootstrap port causes these notes to be printed:
{{{
cmake-bootstrap has the following notes:
To use this bootstrap version of cmake instead of the usual cmake
port, add
the following lines to the Portfile:
depends_build-replace path:bin/cmake:cmake port:cmake-bootstrap
configure.cmd ${prefix}/libexec/cmake-bootstrap/bin/cmake
}}}
These notes are intended for port developers and seem likely to confuse
users who just want to use ports that happen to have a dependency on
cmake-bootstrap. Port notes in general are intended for giving information
to users, not developers. It might be nice if MacPorts had a "developer
mode" that developers could opt into to see such additional information
(there could be a new `devnotes` command where such information could be
left, and which would not be printed unless the user opted into developer
mode) but no such mode exists at this time. Perhaps the information in
this port's notes could be changed to comments in the Portfile, under the
assumption that a developer might read the contents of dependency's
Portfile when developing another port.
