Port mpkg is broken (was: port mpkg subversion errors out)

[leimy@…]

I don't think this is supposed to happen...

---> Verifying checksum(s) for subversion ---> Extracting subversion ---> Configuring subversion ---> Building subversion with target all ---> Staging subversion into destroot ---> Creating pkg for subversion-1.0.5 Error: port search failed: can't read "sources": no such variable Error: port search failed: can't read "sources": no such variable

The only thing I get with -dv that's different is DEBUG: Executing com.apple.mpkg (subversion)

I just updated subversion to 1.0.6 yesterday, does it still do it with the current version of the portfile?

[danielluke (Daniel J. Luke)]

I think this problem is more general than just subversion.

I tried it on a couple of other ports (where I had dependencies installed) and it failed in the same way.

I'm going to try to blow away my subversion dependencies and see if I get different behavior when I try to build the mpkg.

[danielluke (Daniel J. Luke)]

I wasn't able to get port mpkg to work on any of the ports I tried (although I might misunderstand how it is supposed to work).

Reassigning but to darwinports-bugs.

Output of port -dv mpkg slrn

[matt@…]

I just tried to do a mpkg for slrn (so libiconv and slang get bundled with it) and it didn't worked (see attachment for complete debug and verbose output of 'port -dv mpkg slrn').

I'm pretty much sure this is unfortunately related to Port Images, as references to directories leads to a "No such file or directory" error.

I fixed this bug.
