#40455 new defect

Pallet doesn't upgrade

Reported by: jorgos.castello@… Owned by: macports-tickets@…
Priority: Normal Milestone:
Component: ports Version: 2.2.0
Keywords: Cc: ksammons@…
Port: Pallet

Description (last modified by ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt))

Hi All,

I've labeled that Ticket as defect, because it seems to me that the Pallet-port doesn't work in a correct way. If I install the Pallet on my MacOS, I'm getting an application called Pallet in my Applications/MacPorts folder with no Errors or Warnings during the installation.
But:

  • It's always Version 1.0
  • If I terminate Pallet I'm getting always an confirmation window
  • I cannot install or uninstall a port with the offered buttons in the Pallet menu

Please help me with that problem.

Sorry that you have troubles with the GUI. Pallet is currently unmaintained and no developer is working on the code. The latest work was done during Google Summer of Code 2010. It could well be that MacPorts.framework and Pallet are no longer compatible with MacPorts base now.

Ok, thanks for that information. Maybe you can find a developer who can maintain Pallet once again. It would increase the Macport's usability.

One problem per bug report please.

Replying to jorgos.castello@…:

  • It's always Version 1.0

That's #27104.

  • If I terminate Pallet I'm getting always an confirmation window

What kind of confirmation window? Do you mean the problem reported in #27103?

  • I cannot install or uninstall a port with the offered buttons in the Pallet menu

Please describe this problem in more detail.

This ancient ticket refers (more or less) to a version of Pallet that no longer exists.

Pallet is presently broken, and has been for about 10 years.

The current best shot at building something would be to start with the github repo at <https://github.com/macports/pallet.git>
