tomcat5 build/dependency error on 10.4.11

[jgvanus@…]

When I try to install tomcat5 I received an error (below). I was able to reslove this by upgrading commons-modeler from 1.1_0 to 2.0.1_0. I think the dependency's should be updated to reflect the correct version. Thanks for supporting this great tool!

Here is the error I received before upgrading:

The commons-modeler port is already at version 2.0.1. So an upgrade would have fixed this. Closing as works for me: let me know if there's something I'm missing here.

[jgvanus@…]

Sorry for the confusion. I'll try to be more presice.

In similar package management systems that I've used before, a package is dependent on a specific version of other packages. My point is the tomcat5 package should be dependent on commons-modeler 2+, not just any commons-modeler.

In my case I had commons-modeler 1.1. I think that should have failed a dependency check. Upgrading my commons-modeler port is how I got tomcat installed.

I can't find any reference to dependency versions in the docs, is it just not supported yet?

[jberry@…]

That's correct. Macports unfortunately doesn't at this time support dependencies onto particular versions of ports, or onto ports with particular variants set.
