New port for ruby-dbi with odbc support
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? (feel free to point me to an FAQ... the macports site+docos are excruciating, have spent ages looking already) -- tim
Hi Tim,
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.

There has been some discussion recently on macports-dev@ about our documentation, but unfortunately none of us has gotten around to doing some organised planning and work on it. It'll be one of my priorities when I get enough free time. Thanks the new port!
