While upgrading vlc-0.8.4a_2 to vlc-0.8.5_2 I ran into : ===> bison-1.75_2,1 conflicts with installed package(s): bison-2.1_2
In /usr/ports/Mk/bsd.port.mk I see for bison : .if defined(USE_BISON) BUILD_DEPENDS+= bison:${PORTSDIR}/devel/bison .endif I changed this into: .if defined(USE_BISON) BUILD_DEPENDS+= bison:${PORTSDIR}/devel/bison2 .endif I'm aware that this can cause problem for those who depend on features/syntax/whatever which is only found in bison'1'. My vlc upgrade went fine with bison2. What is the port manager's plan with bison1/2 ? Should we introduce something like a 'USE_BISON_VERSION' (make.conf candidate) to extend 'USE_BISON' for ports that can use both versions and also split 'USE_BISON' into 'USE_BISON1' and 'USE_BISON2' for those who cannot ? regards, Hans Lambermont _______________________________________________ freebsd-ports@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
