#16238: Port for MapServer --------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: mbarchfe@googlemail.com | Owner: macports-tickets@lists.macosforge.org Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Port Submissions Component: ports | Version: 1.6.0 Resolution: | Keywords: --------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Comment (by mbarchfe@googlemail.com):
`port lint` has the following suggestions about your Portfile: sorry, should have run that beforehand. Attached is a cleaned file. The whitespace notices aren't so important and will probably be removed from `port lint` anyway, but the others are relevant. Variants should have descriptions explaining their use, and we don't have a category "gis". Perhaps the port would fit into one of the existing categories. Where can I find out about valid categories? According to http://www.macports.org/ports.php ther is a gis category.
Further comments from me:
* You don't wish to be the maintainer of this port? Actually I hoped I could throw this over the fence and get away with it ;-). But if being the maintainer means I can directly submit changes to the Portfile that would be fine with me. * It looks like the variant "wms" doesn't do anything so it should be removed. It adds a necessary dependency for wms. I wanted this category just to make it explicit. * In the destroot phase you should use `xinstall` instead of `system "install"`. Fixed. * With regard to your comment on setting the cgi_path, this project is called MacPorts. It hasn't been called DarwinPorts in 16 months. :-) Sorry, I am new to Mac and this does not mean much to me. * `extract.suffix .tar.gz` is unnecessary; that's the default. Removed.
