port file command returns the path to the portfile with \r at end

[ebgssth@…]

$ ls `port file libevent`
: No such file or directory/sources/rsync.macports.org/release/ports/devel/libevent/Portfile

$ port file libevent | sed -n l
/opt/local/var/macports/sources/rsync.macports.org/release/ports/devel/libevent/Portfile\r$

This problem makes diffing Portfile harder. When I'm editing Portfile and like to do diff, I need to do something like

port cat portname > Portfile.orig
port edit portname
diff -u Portfile.orig `port file portfile | tr "\r" " "`

This problem is not present in trunk, when using the bash shell.

Agree, I cannot reproduce this on MacPorts trunk.

[ebgssth@…]

This problem seems to only occur in OS X 10.3. On 10.4 I cannot reproduce this, too.

[afb@…]

Can't reproduce this on Mac OS X 10.3 with MacPorts 1.5.0 either.

I think your install is broken ?

[ebgssth@…]

I'm using 1.520 on Mac OS X 10.3.9, just re-installed MacPorts.

[ebgssth@…]

Re-installed OS X 10.3 and MacPorts 1.520 but this bug still remains.

[ebgssth@…]

verified this problem was fixed in macports 1.600. Please close this ticket.
