Description (last modified by ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt))
Since [ac7eb8e931c616bdddcdb5733c86fb9067619d45/macports-ports], many packages are no longer binary distributable. For example, in a recent cmake build [1]:
"cmake" is not distributable because its dependency "xattr" has license "unknown" which is not known to be distributable
I guess the dependency graph is: cmake -> curl -> libidn2 -> libtool -> xattr. (Any systematic way to track down the actual breakage?)
As xattr is only used to strip extended attributes, I suggest to add it to license_noconflict:
diff --git a/devel/libtool/Portfile b/devel/libtool/Portfile index ddf67d94a1..bf2f7bb234 100644 --- a/devel/libtool/Portfile +++ b/devel/libtool/Portfile @@ -25,6 +25,7 @@ checksums rmd160 6f4b4c3e89426652da3acffa707f71bb4ccee26a \ # To clean up libtool 2.4.6 distfile. depends_build bin:xattr:xattr +license_noconflict xattr patchfiles hardcode-m4.patch asan.patch post-patch {
With that cmake is binary distributable again.
