Description

This port currently installs the ExifTool binary as "exiftool-5.16", which breaks scripts that depend on the existence of a binary named "exiftool".

p5-image-exiftool has subports for each version of perl. The convention is that such subports should not conflict with one another, which is what they would do if they all tried to install the file "exiftool" to the same bin directory.

We could offer a "select" package for exiftool, which would be a shortcut for creating an "exiftool" symlink pointing to whichever version you installed.

Replying to ryandesign@…:

I've manually created a symlink from "exiftool" to "exiftool-5.16". A select package that accomplishes the same thing automatically seems like a fine approach. I'm very new to MacPorts and suspect there's a standard approach for doing this kind of thing.

Is it correct to use a select, another port p5-image-exiftool-select has to be created?

comment:5 Changed 9 years ago by ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)

Yes. The port would typically have the "_select" suffix, so in this case the name would be "p5-image-exiftool_select".

Resolution: fixed
Status: newclosed

I believe this was fixed by the creation of exiftool.
