Hello, Freebsd-ports.
I understand, that this change (ports/137855, bsd.port.mk:1.632) was
made 6 months ago, but I've
noticed it only now (twice in one day!).
Am I only person, who thinks, that this change is HUGE POLA
violation?
PR says about "big tarball is downloaded and CONFLICTS are detected
after that," but I've have two more realistic scenarios, when early
conflict detection is VERY annoying. Thry are real-life scenarios,
occured today for me in a row.
(1) I have `subversion' port installed, and want to `makesum' in
updated subversion-freebsd port directory (because I'm maintainer and
need to update port with new version, which have new tarball). OOPS.
I cannot even download new tarball -- confilct is detected.
(2) I want upgrade perl from 5.8.x to 5.10.x. Type command:
#portupgrade -rfo lang/petl5.10 perl-5.8.9_3
Ooops, confilct is detected, upgraid failed. GRRRR!
Maybe, early conflict detection should only print WARNING, and only
install target should be blocked by it, as everybody used for MANY
years?
It's been mentioned before:
