Attached is a Portfile for flagpoll https://realityforge.vrsource.org/view/FlagPoll . Please let me know if there is anything else that needs to be done for its inclusion in MacPorts. Thanks.

I think you should be using the python24 or python25 portgroup. It would simplify the portfile.

I am still learning all the details of Portfiles so do not understand what a portgroup is. Could you provide more details on what I need to do to make flagpoll part of the python portgroup?

I found the man page that describes PortGroups but there is no description of what the Python PortGroups override. Is that documented anywhere?

Also, we have a python category. Though there are ports that use a python portgroup that aren't in the python category. I don't use python software, so I'm not sure what the rules are there, just wanted to point out that there is such a category. Ports in that category should have names that begin with "py-" (for 2.4) or "py25-" (for 2.5). Perhaps a MacPorts python user can provide guidance on what needs to go in that category and what can be elsewhere.

OK. I am happy to change the category to whatever you think the best home for the port is.

I looked at pkgconfig today and it is stored in the devel category.
