Is the version correct? This port build svn revision 2744 of the upstream project, which was committed on 2014-10-22, but the version in the portfile says 20101217.
According to their source, they don't use a version numbering system, rather a date. Take a look at their binaries: [http://sourceforge.net/projects/reduce-algebra/files/]
Right. So if the revision you're proposing to build with this port was modified on 2014-10-22, shouldn't the port's advertised version be 20141022, not 20101217?
Is autoconf really a library dependency? Usually autoconf is only used at build time.
It's listed in their README.BUILDING file.
Right. So if autoconf is used for building, shouldn't it be in depends_build, not depends_lib?
There's a comment in the portfile that reads "`Keep the CSL version of Reduce and PSL in sync.`" I'm not sure what's meant by this—what specific action one is supposed to take—since, as far as I can see, there is to be only this one single reduce portfile, and it only has a single version line and a single svn.revision line.
That just means I'm building both flavors of reduce from the same svn version. It can be removed if you feel it's not necessary.
Do you feel it's necessary? What action is this comment reminding you to perform? If none, then I would suggest removing the comment. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/45739#comment:11> MacPorts <https://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X
