chroot?
by Bob Zimmermann 27 Feb '07

27 Feb '07

Hi- I'm a new porter. I want to submit some ports but also want to test my ports on a clean machine first. There is mention on the wiki about chrooting the OS to do this, however, the link which describes it is dead (from the old opendarwin page). Can anyone let me know how this is done? Thanks much, Bob Zimmermann

remove p5-math-bigint port?
by Vincent Lefevre 26 Feb '07

26 Feb '07

It seems that the Math:BigInt module is provided by perl: prunille:~> port contents perl5.8 | grep BigInt.pm /opt/local/lib/perl5/5.8.8/Math/BigInt.pm It is version 1.77. The version provided by the p5-math-bigint port is 1.73 only. Is there a reason to keep such a port that is not up-to-date and that will never be used because perl first selects the modules distributed with the perl5 port? BTW, the latest version of Math::BigInt on CPAN is 1.79. Shouldn't perl5 be upgraded? -- Vincent Lefèvre <vincent(a)vinc17.org> - Web: <http://www.vinc17.org/> 100% accessible validated (X)HTML - Blog: <http://www.vinc17.org/blog/> Work: CR INRIA - computer arithmetic / Arenaire project (LIP, ENS-Lyon)

ReadMe.rtf ready for review.
by Mark Duling 26 Feb '07

26 Feb '07

I have an updated ReadMe.rtf for the MacPorts' binary installer. The changes are roughly these: -Changed all occurrances of DarwinPorts to MacPorts -Removed links to OpenDarwin and Guide and replaced them with the MacPorts Wiki. -Added sections "Shell Environment Requirements" and "Install Location" to better distinguish content. Q1) Do we want to still include a link to Kevin's Port Authority since it is payware? I included it, but it can be easily deleted. Q2) 'port sync' is mentioned in the "What is Installed" section - ".... which is kept up-to-date through the sync and selfupdate targets of the port command." Is that still necessary? I think it either needs to be further explained or removed. I attached the updated file here. http://trac.macosforge.org/projects/macports/ticket/11010 But I pasted it below in RTF for easy review. I think attachments get stripped but I'll find out. What is MacPorts? MacPorts provides an infrastructure for building, installing, and packaging open source software. It is designed to match the functionality of the FreeBSD Ports system and to be extensible for future enhancements. System Requirements: This disk image is built for Mac OS X __XVERS__.x (Darwin __DVERS__.x) and requires valid TCL, curl and OpenSSL installations to function - all present by default within Mac OS X. Also required is the installation of Apple's XCode (available as a separate install from your OS X CDs or DVD, or preferably the latest version from Apple's Developer site: [ http://developer.apple.com/ ]http://developer.apple.com/). Shell Environment Requirements: A file named ~./profile is created during the binary file install of MacPorts. It contains the path statements to append the MacPorts' binary paths to your environment within /opt/local/ so MacPorts will be available to you for subsequent terminal sessions. You may have to quit and restart your terminal application for this change to take effect. Install Location: When MacPorts is installed using the .dmg file binary, the install location for MacPorts is /opt/local/. If you wish to install to a path other than /opt/local, you must install MacPorts by using the source code. See [ http://trac.macosforge.org/projects/macports/wiki/InstallingMacPorts ]Installing MacPorts on the MacPorts Wiki for instructions. Usage: 1) Access the MacPorts' port command via the command line. or 2) Access MacPorts by purchasing the [ http://www.codebykevin.com/portauthority.html ]Port Authority GUI application. * DISCLAIMER: The Port Authority application is not supported by the MacPorts project. What is Installed: Aside from a few MacPorts executable commands in /opt/local/bin, most MacPorts files are installed in "/opt/local/var/db/dports". Within these directories you will find a "sources" directory, which is kept up-to-date through the sync and selfupdate targets of the port command. Please read the port(1) man page for more information. Mark

And if they really want to, why wouldn't they type /usr/bin/file (or use an alias or whatever)? IMHO, one of the goals of these ports is to replace the versions provided by the system. -- Vincent Lefèvre <vincent(a)vinc17.org> - Web: <http://www.vinc17.org/> 100% accessible validated (X)HTML - Blog: <http://www.vinc17.org/blog/> Work: CR INRIA - computer arithmetic / Arenaire project (LIP, ENS-Lyon)

curl and platform universal?
by Ryan Schmidt 25 Feb '07

25 Feb '07

So I said earlier [1] that I had seen a port with a variant +universal, which is a strategy which seems now to have been adopted by some other ports. However, I just noticed that the port where I thought I had seen that, curl, actually says "platform universal" instead of "variant universal", and I'm not sure how that works. Anyone know?

Pending ports
by Jann Röder 25 Feb '07

25 Feb '07

Hi, here's a list of ports I submitted a while ago. I think they can be put into the ports tree now: Update for John and John-devel: http://trac.macports.org/projects/macports/ticket/11298 http://trac.macports.org/projects/macports/ticket/11297 Drill: http://trac.macports.org/projects/macports/ticket/11366 This one is a dig-like tool whith support for DNSSec. It depends on the ldns port, actually it is part of the ldns distribution, but is not installed by default. And I think someone should submit this qt4 port: http://trac.macports.org/projects/macports/ticket/11262 and close this old qt4 submission: http://trac.macports.org/projects/macports/ticket/4552 Thanks Jann
