  • Ticket #66821 – Description

    initial v1  
    33This is breaking behavior from version 2.8.0. See e.g., https://trac.macports.org/ticket/66690.

    5 The problem with the latest MacPorts version is that the {{{worksrcpath}}} specified by the Portfile is created as an actual directory, not a symlink to the untamed source contents created by the {{{extract}}} phase. This will be a problem with any port that specifies {{{worksrcpath}}}—I cannot recall why I did this for {{{cabal}}} but I believe that there was a good reason. See below.

    77How to observe the issue. The directory {{{cabal-install-3.8.1.0}}} should be a symlink to {{{cabal-Cabal-v3.8.1.0}}}.
