From an email by one of my portmanager users: "I am aware of apsfilter's dependency on bash-2.05b.007_2. The problem is that bash has to write it files to the same location. There is no way, at least that I am aware of, to have two versions of bash installed. Besides, why would I want two versions. Furthermore, apsfilter runs just fine with the newer version of bash. I intend to contact the maintainer of apsfilter to see if he can find a solution to this problem also." This seems easy enough to implement so only if the maintainer concurs please consider updating apsfilter with the attached apsfilter-7.2.5_6.diff. Fix: I've added a WITH_BASH2 option in case someone has good reason for this and changed the default bash dependency from shells/bash2 to shells/bash. Makefile.diff is attached. How-To-Repeat: N/A
Yes, well, IIRC shells/bash was marked deprecated some time ago due to being obsolete, but also IIRC someone objected. Is there really a pressing reason to keep it around? mcl
Here is from http://www.freshports.org/shells/bash port moved here from shells/bash3 on 2004-08-11 REASON: move latest stable version to unnumbered directory The most recent update is 19 Nov 2004 to version 3.0.16_1 I don't see anything in its Makefile indicating it is depreciated. -Mike
