There's two port files, rb-dbd-pg and db-dbd-mysql that currently just extend rb-dbi with a few configure args. They should probably use variants, but I digress. I've created another Portfile, in the spirit of these two, so you can install ruby-dbi with odbc support via macports, just like you can with mysql or postgres. It's a dead-simple Portfile.
How can I get this added to the ports tree?
The most transparent way is to submit a ticket for the new port in the requested format [1]; don't forget to enter the addresses in the Cc field as described. A committer will then check it and commit it if they're happy with it. As for rb-dbd-pg and rb-dbd- mysql, it'd be great if you could file a ticket about those too so that the maintainer(s) know about your suggestion.
