#38888 closed enhancement (fixed)

file: make libmagic subport

Reported by: ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt) Owned by: ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)
Priority: Normal Milestone:
Component: ports Version:
Keywords: Cc: cooljeanius (Eric Gallager)
Port: file, libmagic

Description

The file port installs both the file program and the libmagic library. Make libmagic a subport so that other ports that require the libmagic library don't have to also install the file program, since the file program's output differs from Apple's file program's output, which can confuse users, or in extreme cases, cause other ports to fail to build (e.g. #31260). Splitting off libmagic as a subport was previously suggested in comment:ticket:31699:4.
