Re: pfaedit fixed, now onto maxima errors: msg#00642

Subject: Re: pfaedit fixed, now onto maxima errors

Shantou,

The problem is if there is a '-' in the name field of the Portfile. The current parsing mechanism assumes that everything after the first '-' is the version. So maxima-lisp-2.29 installs as 'maxima', version 'lisp-2.29'. The directory name under which the Portfile lives is not involved.

Getting rid of the '-' in the name field fixes the problem. But this is likely to come up again, since fftw-3 has a '-' in its name too. It is probably being confused with fftw, but the issue
has not come to the fore because no other port depends on fftw-3.

Wait, is the problem having a port with "-" in the name? I count over 200 of those in darwinports right
now, so....

I guess if you really want you can rename the port. Anthony, can you just remove the old receipt? Should be in /opt/local/var/db/dports/receipts/, named maxima- something

Ugh. I can rename the maxima-lisp port to maxima_lisp or maximalisp if that will work around the problem for now. I held off doing so before because the consensus of the list seemed to be that Port Images would be added soon. As always, the last 10 percent of the
work takes 90 percent of the time....

What do people think? My preference is to use the underscore '_'. Will that cause any
problems?

Best Wishes,
Greg
