Porticus 1.6.2 Released

A new version of Porticus is now available, this is a bugfix release. It fixes bug with displaying the port list on MacOS X 10.4 systems. Apologies for the problems with the latest updates for Tiger users. I hope all is now stable on both Tiger and Leopard.

You can get Porticus 1.6.2 here.

    Glad to hear all is well, apologies for the breakages in the last couple of versions. I will look at improving my Tiger testing in future!

    does this work with mac OS 10.5.7? Has anyone got experience of this?

    It should work just fine on 10.5.7, at least it does for me…

    Hi

    I have just upgraded to 1.6.2 but Porticus still gets stuck on “parsing ports list. Looking through older posts I’ve tried deleting the porticus folder in the /Librart/Application Support folder with no luck. Any suggestions? I’m running OS 10.4.10
    Thanks

    Which version of MacPorts are you running? Do you have any local repositories or anything configured or are you just using MacPorts ‘out of the box’? Are there any messages in the Porticus.log or Console.log files?

    Good day!
    I think there is a bug on the latest version of Porticus.
    I selected all the installed packages, clicked on uninstall, and then an error came up which said:
    Error: port uninstall failed: Registry error: PKGNAME not registered as installed.
    What do you think?
    You can contact me in the email above.
    Thanks,
    Enric

    Hi,
    first of all – a great application! For the record – it’s running fine on Leopard 10.5.7, Intel MacBook.

    Some issues, I experienced so far:
    - just as Eric reports, selecting multiple ports for uninstallation brings up an error, that the first port in the list is not installed.
    - when a port is uninstalled the “Installed” list is updated, but nothing shows up. I have to select some other list – ex. “New” – and then go back to “Installed”. combined with the previous issue this is very disturbing when uninstalling many packages.

    Many thanks to all involved developers!

    Thanks for the comments Danny.

    I know what is happening with the multiple uninstall but haven’t decided what the best behaviour is, essentially it Porticus is not appending the variant details to the command. While it is straightforward if there is only one variant it is less clear if there are different variants installed (the variant list may be changed when updating for example). Do we want to uninstall all or just the latest variant. I suspect for the next version I will set it up to uninstall the current version. If you would be interested in beta testing let me know support@alittledrop.com.

    The second issue is a pain, I had it fixed for 1.6 but that broke (badly) when running on Tiger, a long story basically issues with NSTreeController on Tiger. I need to rewrite the code to avoid using the NSTreeController and I just need a little time, my real job is a little busy right now!
