circular dependency for diffuse

Reported by: yasir.suhail@… Owned by: tommyd@…
Priority: Normal Milestone:
Component: ports Version: 1.9.1
Keywords: Cc:
Port: diffuse

Description

I am trying to install diffuse on my Mac OSX 10.6.4. It goes into a circular dependency check. Also, it tries to search for python24 although it should be using python26 (which is standard for many ports and already installed on my system).

Anyway, I run sudo port install diffuse >buildout.txt 2>builderror.txt

I attach the builderror file.

Actually, I ran sudo port install -d diffuse >buildout.txt 2>builderror.txt

This seems to be the dependency loop caused by xorg-libXi: see #25912

The reason why this still depends on Python 2.4 and not 2.6 is that this pulls in gcc44 as dependency for me (still on 10.5.8) and I somewhat refused to wait a day to let it compile this huge dependency and everything else... I still consider this some kind of upstream port bug and just didn't came around investigating this more thoroughly.

  py26-gtk

    py26-cairo
      py26-numpy

        atlas

            gmp
            mpfr
          [...]

python 2.4 is really old and not preferred for ports anymore. I suggest changing it to py26-gtk and adding variants for python24 and python25 too.

Yes this is indeed a good idea - my first port with variants, yay! Done in r70233
