I'm new to this list; and so I don't know what the actual procedure for introducing a new port is. Nevertheless, I am attaching the Portfile for x11/gtk2-extra. GtkExtra is a set of useful widgets for Gtk+. The port for gtk-extra (corresponding to Gtk+1) was already present; I just had to change the version numbers and update the MD5.

If Matthew is not available or is unwilling to maintain this port; I would be glad to do so.

Thanks for contributing! I have committed the port in r22138 with the following changes: 1. I added you as the maintainer in addition to Matthew. 2. I added sha1 and rmd160 hashes in addition to the md5 hash. I recommend Matthew make the same change to gtk-extra. 3. I changed the checksums line so it doesn't mention the tarball by name; there's no reason to do so and it's just one more thing you'd have to update each time. I recommend Matthew make the same change to gtk-extra. I guess the MacPorts copy command isn't available until MacPorts 1.4? so "system cp ... ..." is still the best way to copy something? Once MacPorts makes the copy command available, I suppose that would be safer than direct system calls. In the future, I think the best way to submit a new port is to create a ticket in Trac, then notify the list that the ticket exists.
