Have you considered opening an issue upstream so that the underlying problem can be fixed?

Invalid records are definitely not expected behaviour.

Having to override portmod.conf makes sense, and points to the profile not working. I tried it myself and with an empty profile and that config file it didn't cause any exceptions, but you're probably missing some important configuration which might cause the packages to not install correctly. The f...

What exactly have you managed to do so far? Assuming that you followed the setup guide, was anything installed when you ran portmod openmw merge -uD @world ? Did you modify portmod.conf at all, or did portmod prompt you to make any configuration changes? Your portmod openmw info output is missing bo...

That looks exactly like I'd expect it to. I'll see if I can figure out where else it could be failing.

Oh. You appear to be missing all the stuff that should be set in the profile, so it's not that the platform is set to something unexpected, but that the hidden use flag representing the platform is not being set at all. But the profile must be set to something, otherwise there would be an error mess...

It looks to me like you're using Windows, and it should be looking for delta_plugin.exe on windows, but it's possible it's not detecting that properly. Are you using something like cygwin or WSL (neither of which are really supported at the moment, but if they are actually working then we could supp...

I've run into that error a number of times on Portmod's Windows CI, but I've never fully understood why it occurs. My best guess was that an antivirus or indexer, is trying to scan the files while they are being used. I'd never encountered it when manually testing it on Windows, but I haven't done t...

Not sure where you're coming from with the BSAs. Mostly just wondering if Portmod would be be more widely used, and if more mod authors would be interested in it, if it also supported the original engine. The aside about BSAs is just some technical stuff that would be necessary to support it (BSAs ...

Okay, the metadata is basically meaningless without some way of determining the latest (available-to-user) release, release dependencies/versions, and the dependency versions available to the user. I'm not sure if I entirely agree. There's a lot more information on the proposals in this topic than ...

configtool prompts for each change to the config file but inserts the notification about MERGE_TOOL between the changes and the choices. Is that expected behavior? The choices seemed to regard the MERGE_TOOL instead of the file changes. That is expected, though I'm not positive it's the right choic...
