Please note that this only describes the first such instance of any failure, but that's better than not describing it at all, I'd say. An example:

"emacs-app" is not distributable because its license "gpl" conflicts with license "OpenSSL": librsvg -> cairo -> xorg-libXext -> xorg-libX11 -> xorg-libxcb -> python38 -> openssl

Fixes: https://trac.macports.org/ticket/60995


UPDATED

Now describes all failures, for example:

$ ./port_binary_distributable.tcl -v ffmpeg +nonfree
"ffmpeg" is not distributable because its license "Restrictive" is not known to be distributable
"ffmpeg" is not distributable because its dependency "libfdk-aac" has license "Restrictive" which is not known to be distributable: libfdk-aac
$ ./port_binary_distributable.tcl -v mplayer +glx +faac
"mplayer" is not distributable because its dependency "faac" has license "Restrictive" which is not known to be distributable: faac
"mplayer" is not distributable because its license "GPL" conflicts with license "OpenSSL": mesa -> xorg-libxcb -> python38 -> openssl
"mplayer" is not distributable because its license "GPL" conflicts with license "SSLeay": mesa -> xorg-libxcb -> python38 -> openssl

I've changed this to describe all reasons why a port isn't
distributable, and properly capitalise license names. An
example:

$ ./port_binary_distributable.tcl -v mplayer +glx +faac
"mplayer" is not distributable because its dependency "faac" has license "Restrictive" which is not known to be distributable: faac
"mplayer" is not distributable because its license "GPL" conflicts with license "OpenSSL": mesa -> xorg-libxcb -> python38 -> openssl
"mplayer" is not distributable because its license "GPL" conflicts with license "SSLeay": mesa -> xorg-libxcb -> python38 -> openssl

@jmroot Do you have any concerns about this change? I'd like to have this more verbose output available, but I haven't analyzed the code to determine if this introduces any regressions.

I haven't had a chance to look at it. No idea if it's correct or not at this point, sorry.

FWIW I made a go at moving this to a command in port — it appears to work reasonably well. The main difference between that and the command here is that I ripped out the database support, as it didn't seem a good fit for port, and probably doesn't make that much of a difference in practice, considering you have to build ports anyway.

Please add an option to turn on this new mode of operation, which we might call something like "explain mode", and don't do all the extra work if it is not turned on.

Use [list] so the variable is a pure list.

Does this really need a dict rather than just an array? And what's the purpose of adding an entry for the whole list of dependencies?

# mark as seen and remove from the list
set portSeen($aPort) 1
set portList [lreplace $portList 0 0]

Moving this makes the comment above incorrect.

while {[llength $portList] > 0} {
set aPort [lindex $portList 0]
set portList [lreplace $portList 0 0]
if {[info exists portSeen($aPort)] && $portSeen($aPort) eq 1} {

eq is for string comparisons and strings should always be quoted in expressions. However there's really no need to check the value at all.

This would be great to finish and merge.

Dan, are you still interested in working on this, or would you prefer that someone take this over?

Sounds good. And thanks again for your hard work, it'll be great to see it used!
