Evening everyone!
I'm pleased to announce that MacPorts 1.5.1 has been released
through selfupdate, comprising the following fixes and enhancements:
Release 1.5.1 (11-August-2007 at branches/release_1_5/base's r27646,
by jmpp):
- Remove sed rules taking care of dp based comments in the
macports.conf file from the upgrade target in base/Makefile.in,
they were causing problems for people with /opt/dports or
similar prefixes (jmpp in r27618).
- Facelift to the PortIndex2MySQL.tcl script to make it
selfcontained and work with the new macports1.0 api to
generate SQL statements with information extracted from
Portfiles (jmpp in r27415).
- Always print the livecheck regex in debug mode, not only when
it fails (ryandesign in r27379).
- Detect some mtree violations within ${prefix}. Test can be
overriden by "destroot.violate_mtree yes" in a Portfile
(mww in r27199).
- Fix version comparison in MacPorts initialization to properly
detect Tcl versions 8.4.7 and later (sfiera in r27127).
- Fix double de-escaping of livecheck.regex inadvertently
introduced in r26041 (eridius in r27079).
- Added new Portfile options to the configure stage for
selecting compiler(s) (mww in r27018, r27021, r27022 and r27053)
- New logic in the upgrade target to account for cases where the
old and new versions consist of different
numbers of segments (sfiera in r26921).
- Remove dead OpenDarwin mirrors from our mirrors list (jmpp in
r26903)
- New tests for violations of common directory structure (and
option to override them for special cases)
- Added new variable ${os.major} that contains the Darwin major
version (eridius r26693, ticket #12224).
Selfupdate at will (in a couple of minutes to allow for the updates
to reach the rsync sever ;-) and report any problems you might
encounter to our lists and/or as tickets on trac.macports.org.
Thanks again to all those working hard to improve MacPorts with
every single one of our releases, most appreciated! To everyone else,
enjoy 1.5.1!
Regards,...
