I wasn't sure if there was another place for specific port questions.
Perhaps "xmlstarlet" used to be called "xml" but was later renamed. "xml" is a fairly generic kind of program name, so they probably ran into problems with other existing programs of that name. I've updated the port from 1.0.1_1 to 1.1.0_0; in this version, the developer updated the message printed by "xmlstarlet --help" to correctly show that the command name is "xmlstarlet" not "xml". However the manpage and many other documentation files still list the program name as "xml". I fixed the reference in the manpage in 1.1.0_1, but you should report this problem to the developers of xmlstarlet so they can fix all occurrences of the problem. _______________________________________________ macports-users mailing list macports-users@lists.macosforge.org http://lists.macosforge.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/macports-users
