logtalk-devel @3.00.0-b1: update to 3.00.0-b2

[pmoura (Paulo Moura)]

Update the logtalk-devel portfile for the latest release.

[mojca (Mojca Miklavec)]

The port builds and installs fine, but one final remark bothers me:

xinstall: /opt/local/share/logtalk-3.00.0-b2/scripts/freedesktop/logtalk.xml -> /opt/local/share/mime/packages/logtalk.xml

Note that '/opt/local/share' is not in the search path
set by the XDG_DATA_HOME and XDG_DATA_DIRS
environment variables, so applications may not
be able to find it until you set them. The
directories currently searched are:

- /opt/local/var/macports/build/_path_to_lang_logtalk-devel/logtalk-devel/work/.home/.local/share
- /usr/local/share/
- /usr/share/

[pmoura (Paulo Moura)]

What's troublesome here is that a MacPorts installed freedesktop doesn't search by default in /opt/local/share instead or in addition to /user/local/share and /usr/share. And that have nothing to do with the logtalk(-devel) portfiles.

[mojca (Mojca Miklavec)]

Is there any ticket already open with that problem? Is it possible to fix it somehow?

Also, storing the nonexistent (build) path to search path cannot be freedesktop's fault.

So should I simply commit as-is and worry about the warning later? May I please also fix the whitespace?

Replying to mojca@…:

No idea. I would expect that it should be easy to fix, however.

Also, storing the nonexistent (build) path to search path cannot be freedesktop's fault.

The relevant command in the portfile is:

system "${prefix}/bin/update-mime-database ${prefix}/share/mime; true"

According to MacPorts policies, freedesktop should not mess with /usr/... directories and instead default to directories under the prefix used by MacPorts.

So should I simply commit as-is and worry about the warning later? May I please also fix the whitespace?

The warning will be automatically fixed as soon as freedesktop is fixed. Feel free to fix any whitespace issue.

Committed in r119382 and r119383.

I would suggest you to open a new ticket about the wrong path.
