Description

I'm not sure if this is a bug (either in the Portfile or in macports-base) or if I just overlook something, so take it as a quesions for now.

I currently have the following ports installed:

  SuiteSparse_AMD @7.0_0 (active) platform='darwin 18' archs='x86_64' date='2018-10-22T13:25:38+0200'
  SuiteSparse_CAMD @7.0_0 (active) platform='darwin 18' archs='x86_64' date='2018-10-22T13:25:38+0200'
  SuiteSparse_CCOLAMD @7.0_0 (active) platform='darwin 18' archs='x86_64' date='2018-10-22T13:25:39+0200'
  SuiteSparse_CHOLMOD @7.0_0+openblas (active) platform='darwin 18' archs='x86_64' date='2018-10-22T13:26:18+0200'
  SuiteSparse_COLAMD @7.0_0 (active) platform='darwin 18' archs='x86_64' date='2018-10-22T13:25:39+0200'
  SuiteSparse_config @7.0_0 (active) platform='darwin 18' archs='x86_64' date='2018-10-22T13:25:37+0200'
  SuiteSparse_SPQR @7.0_0+openblas (active) platform='darwin 18' archs='x86_64' date='2018-10-22T13:27:36+0200'
  SuiteSparse_UMFPACK @7.0_0+openblas (active) platform='darwin 18' archs='x86_64' date='2018-10-22T13:27:07+0200'

Right now, macports wants to downgrade all of these to version 6.0_0. Looking for a reason, I couldn't find one. The SuiteSparse Portfile wasn't modified since August and the version number for all of these subports are totally different in the Portfile (e.g. 2.4.6 for SuiteSparse_AMD).

So where are these versions (7.0 --> 6.0) actually coming from? Does macports have issues with handling different versions for different subports?

This problem was introduced in the compilers portgroup in [e808df46c400b4cdb41a2eff6d2fb811ba4d3547/macports-ports].

Fortunately this only affects ports that don't set their version after including the compilers portgroup, and SuiteSparse's subports seem to be the only ones. They will all need an epoch bump next time they are updated.

compilers PG: do not modify MacPorts variables

Increase epoch of SuiteSparse subports since versions are incorrect.
