[MacPorts] #19300: ports.php: web site should have page about each port, not link to portfile

#19300: ports.php: web site should have page about each port, not link to portfile -------------------------------------+-------------------------------------- Reporter: ryandesign@… | Owner: jmpp@… Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Website & Documentation Component: website | Version: Keywords: | Port: -------------------------------------+-------------------------------------- Currently ports.php lets you search for a port, but once you click on one for more info, it just takes you to the portfile in the repository. Users should never need to see the portfile text. Instead, we should show a nicely-formatted page which would include the information you can see in such commands as "`port info`" and "`port variants`" This issue was sent to me via email by Mojca Miklavec. -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.macports.org/ticket/19300> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS

[MacPorts] #19298: ports.php: category pages hard to navigate; consider by-letter navigation

#19298: ports.php: category pages hard to navigate; consider by-letter navigation -------------------------------------+-------------------------------------- Reporter: ryandesign@… | Owner: jmpp@… Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Website & Documentation Component: website | Version: Keywords: | Port: -------------------------------------+-------------------------------------- If you're on a category page, the only available navigation links let you go to pages by number. This is not useful if you want to, say, browse a category for all ports whose names start with a particular letter. This deficiency was pointed out to me via email by Mojca Miklavec. -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.macports.org/ticket/19298> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS

[MacPorts] #23837: Missing test.args keyword in the MacPorts Guide

#23837: Missing test.args keyword in the MacPorts Guide ----------------------------------+----------------------------------------- Reporter: macosx12345@… | Owner: markd@… Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: guide | Version: 1.8.2 Keywords: test.args | Port: ----------------------------------+----------------------------------------- In the current version of the MacPorts Guide, the "test.args" keyword is not mentioned in Section 5.3.9, "Test Phase Keywords", but this keyword does exist (I have tested it with MacPorts 1.8.2) and proves useful. Actually, this keyword is mentioned nowhere in the Guide. I suspect that the keywords test.pre_args and test.post_args also exist, although I have not checked this. I suggest that they get mentioned in Section 5.3.9 of the Guide. Thank you! -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.macports.org/ticket/23837> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS

[MacPorts] #23336: MacPort didn't work out

#23336: MacPort didn't work out ------------------------------+--------------------------------------------- Reporter: in@… | Owner: macports-tickets@… Type: request | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: MacPorts Future Component: ports | Version: 1.8.2 Keywords: | Port: ------------------------------+--------------------------------------------- I think I was just over my head but I had recently upgraded in Mac OS 10.6 and lost MySQL and phpMyAdmin. I found something about MacPort and it looked like an easy way to install them. It wasn't While MacPort says it installed 35 things I can't find these things on my system and I can't use them. Its as if they are installed on another computer. A couple suggestions I'd like to make. Make a guide for someone who isn't a Unix Admin on how to use (or recommend they not use) MacPort. An example would be great. Also, add a feature to MacPort so that it tells you why its installing all this stuff while its happening. I only wanted MySQL and phpMyAdmin and I ended up with stuff like freetype, gawk, apache2 (which I thought came on every Mac already), m4, and so on..... I have no idea why those things were necessary. If MacPort explained why it installed this stuff it would have been helpful. Its clear a lot of work has gone into this project and a lot of people find it very helpful. So, the fault is on me but you can save people like myself a lot of headaches with a bit of documentation specifically directed to them.

[MacPorts] #23118: cacti logs and databases would be better stored under ${prefix}/var

#23118: cacti logs and databases would be better stored under ${prefix}/var -------------------------------------+-------------------------------------- Reporter: ryandesign@… | Owner: markd@… Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: Keywords: | Port: cacti -------------------------------------+-------------------------------------- cacti stores its log file in the log directory inside its directory. It would fit better with the MacPorts hierarchy if the log were stored in ${prefix}/var/log/${name}. Similarly, the round robin database is stored in the rra directory inside its directory. A better fit with the MacPorts mtree would be ${prefix}/var/db/${name} (or ${prefix}/var/db/${name}/rra if we anticipate there being other cacti databases other than those in the rra directory). -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.macports.org/ticket/23118> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS

[MacPorts] #23116: cacti shows warnings for deprecated functions with php 5.3

#23116: cacti shows warnings for deprecated functions with php 5.3 -------------------------------------+-------------------------------------- Reporter: ryandesign@… | Owner: markd@… Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 1.8.2 Keywords: | Port: cacti -------------------------------------+-------------------------------------- cacti doesn't work so well with php 5.3 because it uses functions which are now deprecated, and because cacti configures itself to show all errors, so if display_errors is on, like it is on my development machine, I get tons of "Deprecated: Function ereg_replace() is deprecated" messages in the browser window. This is already patched in svn something like [http://bugs.cacti.net/view.php?id=1568 this] but a simpler solution for now could be to patch global.php to set error_reporting to `E_ALL & ~E_DEPRECATED` instead of `E_ALL`. -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.macports.org/ticket/23116> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS

#23113: cacti should install a sample config file -------------------------------------+-------------------------------------- Reporter: ryandesign@… | Owner: markd@… Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 1.8.2 Keywords: | Port: cacti -------------------------------------+-------------------------------------- cacti currently installs a file config.php, then the port prints instructions advising the user to edit this file. The user's changes will be lost when the user upgrades the port. The port should instead install a sample config file, e.g. config.php.sample, and advise the user to copy this to config.php and edit it. -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.macports.org/ticket/23113> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
