KeePassXC-devel, kmymoney4, ksh93, ksh93-devel, openjdk11, openjdk13, synkron, welle.io-devel: version should not contain the + character

[amake (Aaron Madlon-Kay)]

The current version of openjdk11 is 11.0.15+10 but this causes problems when specifying the port+version on the command line:

% port installed openjdk11                 
The following ports are currently installed:
  openjdk11 @11.0.15+10_0+release+server
  openjdk11 @11.0.15+10_1+release+server (active)
% sudo port uninstall openjdk11 @11.0.15+10_0
Error: port uninstall failed: Registry error: openjdk11 @11.0.15 not registered as installed

Using + in version strings should probably be disallowed. It looks like there are only ~6 ports that have it.

There is a syntax to disambiguate by adding a slash to separate the version and the variants: sudo port uninstall openjdk11 @11.0.15+10_0/+release+server

But yes, using + in versions should still be avoided for exactly this reason.

Thanks, that's interesting. I never knew about that.

In my case I am writing tooling to assist performing various MacPorts operations, and unfortunately I only have access to the version as reported by e.g. port installed which does not disambiguate the variants.

If your tooling can run a little Tcl, you can access the registry2 API directly to obtain separate values instead of a composite portspec:

% rlwrap port-tclsh
% package require macports
1.0
% mportinit
% package require registry2
2.0
% set myports [registry::entry search name zlib]
::registry::entry0
% foreach p $myports {
puts "name [$p name] version [$p version] revision [$p revision] variants [$p variants]"
}
name zlib version 1.2.12 revision 0 variants 
%
