#39757: new port: libcerf -------------------------+-------------------------------- Reporter: mojca@… | Owner: macports-tickets@… Type: submission | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: Resolution: | Keywords: Port: libcerf | -------------------------+-------------------------------- Comment (by ryandesign@…): Replying to [ticket:39757 mojca@…]:
Gnuplot docs list http://sourceforge.net/projects/libcerf/ as the homepage, but the site contains nothing but the link to http://apps.jcns .fz-juelich.de/doku/sc/libcerf. I'm not sure which site should be listed in the Portfile.
Agreed, the sourceforge page has nothing useful; listing the other site, like you did, seems best.
The second problem is that based on the current layout of http://apps.jcns.fz-juelich.de/src/libcerf/, it might happen that the author plans to move the file under {{{old/}}} once a new version gets released. That could be a tiny bit of a problem for MacPorts for a while.
You can list both the current location and the hypothetical future "old" location in the master_sites. Many ports already do this, although it was more of a problem before we had our own distfiles mirror network. Now that our mirrors will copy the distfile at the time that you commit it to the repository, it's not really a problem if upstream later moves or removes it. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/39757#comment:2> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X
