BUG: xcode-based ports fail at destroot stage because of mtree violations in base-1.5.1

[nox@…]

I've got a strange error with libsd-framework when I upgraded it on 1.5.1. I haven't experiencied it when i've tested the port yesterday, so I'm pretty sure the error came from the recent 1.5.1 selfupdate. The error was Error: Target org.macports.destroot returned: no files matched glob pattern "*" so I've enabled trace output to see where it came from and I first thought it was a mtree violation, but an xcode-based application port doesn't produce this error.

Some new discussions on macports-dev lead to the conclusion that this bug is related to mtree violations.

[mww@…]

I've just changed the mtree-checker in portdestroot.tcl to also allow files in /Applications and /Library; if we dont manage to get 1.5.1 out quickly, it is possible to set "destroot.violate_mtree yes" [see portfile(7)] to disable the check for a specific port.

[nox@…]

I think that does not explain those weird /.vol mtree violations.

[mww@…]

which weird /.vol mtree violations? The error examples all fail because there are no files in $prefix;

[nox@…]

Why do you talk about $prefix? They are xcode-based framework ports, they go in ${destroot}/Library/Frameworks, and there _are_ files in ${destroot}/Library/Frameworks:

% ls work/destroot/Library/Frameworks/SDL.framework
Headers  Resources  SDL  Versions

​An interesting thread about this problem

[nox@…]

Just realised I've misread the thread I've linked, so the thread and you say this error is related to another already-fixed-in-trunk problem.
