mpkg created with universal variant aren't completely universal

[lucaseverini@…]

Hi,

Using the command to build a tiff (libtiff) mkpg results in a metapackage where only the tiff package is universal. The other two jpeg and zlib, contain only the default platform x86_64.

The workaround to build jpeg and zlib packages alone and then the tiff metapackage doesn't work either. That's the error:

sudo port mpkg tiff +universal
--->  Computing dependencies for tiff
--->  Creating pkg for tiff-3.9.4
--->  Package for tiff-3.9.4 is up-to-date
Error: Requested variants "" do not match original selection "+universal".
Please use the same variants again, perform 'port clean jpeg' or specify the force option (-f).
Error: Requested variants "" do not match original selection "+universal".
Please use the same variants again, perform 'port clean zlib' or specify the force option (-f).

Using the force option nothing changes (same error). Cleaning the packages they are rebuilt with default platform only (x86_64) without any error or warning reported.

In the macports.conf file is told to build all three paltforms x86_64 i386 and ppc (universal_archs x86_64 i386 ppc).

If possible, I'd like to know any workaround.

Best regards,

Luca Severini

I see the same thing. In a new MacPorts installation, with universal_archs set to x86_64 i386 ppc in macports.conf and +universal in variants.conf, I get this:

I find it curious that it builds and installs jpeg and zlib universal, then builds them again, apparently nonuniversal. The versions that end up installed by MacPorts are universal, but if I then delete that prefix and reinstall from the mpkg, only tiff is universal, and its dependencies are x86_64 only.

Try after r73303.

I tried after r73303. Nothing seems to be changed. Same errors or, after the suggested cleaning, the mpkg has the zlib and jpeg dependencies are x86_64 only

Odd, it seems to work for me now.

I tried again and I have still the same behaviour. However I updated only the portmpkg.tcl file. Is that enough or should I update the complete distribution from the trunk?

After upgrading to version 1.9.99 building it directly from subversion sources everything now works as expected. Thanks a lot.
