Description scot-gale 2015-01-07 05:54:49 UTC

When specifying multiple ports as category/portname/ (i.e. with the trailing slash after the portname) portmaster fails to build them.

Examples of syntax that don't currently work:

# portmaster x11/dmenu/ x11/dzen2/

builds neither port

# portmaster x11/dmenu/ x11/dzen2

builds dzen2 but not dmenu

# portmaster x11/dmenu x11/dzen2/

builds dmenu but not dzen2


Examples of syntax that currently work:

# portmaster x11/dmenu x11/dzen2

builds both ports

# portmaster x11/dmenu/

builds dmenu


I've used a tab completion to fill the directory names for years, yet I've never encountered this bug before. I suppose it's possible that by coincidence I only used the trailing slash when specifying single ports, but I'd be surprised if this bug could have existed for very long without my stumbling into it.

Don't do that, it's not a valid syntax. Many tools will fail with a trailing slash for port origin.
