#51289: PEAR port ----------------------------+-------------------------------- Reporter: mashavecher@… | Owner: macports-tickets@… Type: submission | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 2.3.4 Resolution: | Keywords: Port: PEAR | ----------------------------+-------------------------------- Comment (by mashavecher@…): Ryan, I've explained a little about how MacPorts works for end-users, developers now agree to make the program available for installation with MacPorts. About the Portfile itself. It's a copy/paste exercise, I pretty much followed the instructions and copied some lines from other ports. I can put my name as a maintainer, even though I don't think I can help with anything other than updating version if developers update the program. The extract.suffix .tar.gz. comes from ARB port. For whatever reason when the Portfile contained only master_site it failed to build not being able to fetch distfiles. So I broke the link into three parts as in ARB port: site, name and suffix. I can get rid of the suffix. No I don't think automake, autoconf and lib tool are needed at runtime. How can I add a note that will appear at the end of the installation?
