I use a number of those, do a port sync and port upgrade outdated almost daily, and haven't seen anything disappear. If I were you, I'd check my fsck logs (files like /var/log/fsck_apfs.log, /var/log/fsck_apfs_error.log, and /var/log/fsck_hfs.log), and for anything that might indicate disk erro

Re: C API for ACLs

Use the source, Luke. How "ls" does it: https://github.com/apple-oss-distributions/file_cmds/tree/file_cmds-321.100.11/ls Looks like the presence of an ACL and getting a handle for it is done in ls.c, and actually retrieving and printing all the entries (ls.c retrieves the 1st entry just to ma

Re: openat on 10.6.8?

Pretty sure it first appeared in 10.10, that's the first one for which I see the man page in the OS source code. Implementations lag behind standards, although admittedly that's a rather substantial lag. :-) (I've downloaded quite a number of versions of the source, and for each built an index

Re: Understaning rleaves, rdepof

You're using it wrong. Try for example port installed rdepends:xorg-libx11 Note the colon (no spaces) between depends and the port name. Same for depends, depof, rdepof, and others; see the port man page for details. > On Jan 29, 2022, at 07:20, Gerben Wierda via macports-users > wrote: > >>

Re: What have I forgotten about specifying which Perl should be /opt/local/bin/perl?

I have no idea of the difficulty of such a change, but it would be interesting if Portfiles contained a release date, and the database of installed ports had both a copy of that for any given installed version, and perhaps the date of installation. > On Jan 22, 2022, at 10:22, Gabriel Rosenkoet

Re: Sms for text messages in macports

Every cell phone provider, or at least just about every US cell phone provider, has an email to SMS gateway. It's free for someone sending email to it, not necessarily for the recipient. The problem is you have to know the provider for a given number, and AFAIK, there's no particularly easy way

Re: certificate update for old Macs

The only problem with that or anything similar, is that unless you go to quite a lot of work to just download rather than install the PEM file, and convert it into something human readable WITHOUT installing it, and investigate every certificate in there, you're trusting that the site you got it

Apparently the developer download site (NOT Mac App store) version is ok. Not that most of us are in a rush to update, but just in case... https://www.macrumors.com/2021/12/14/xcode-13-2-bug/

pwait?

macOS does not have the "pwait" command that Linux and some other Unix versions have, which allows waiting on any process (not just a child), given the PID. There would definitely be uses for that, like dealing with a process that backgrounds itself when you wish it didn't, provided you have som
