#42596: new port: MobileDevice 1.0.100 ---------------------------------+-------------------------------- Reporter: schmurtz_macport@… | Owner: macports-tickets@… Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 2.2.1 Resolution: | Keywords: Port: | ---------------------------------+-------------------------------- Comment (by cal@…): You don't need to set `name` since `github.setup` already does that for you. How did you come up with the version number? It doesn't seem upstream is providing any version numbering (or tags, for that matter), so our course of action usually is the following: - Ask upstream to provide versioning and tags in their git-repo for us to track. - If upstream isn't willing to do that, reference a commit (like you did) and use a date in the form YYYYMMDD as version number. The port fails lint (`port lint --nitpick`), because it doesn't set a `license` field (effectively preventing binary re-distribution). https://github.com/mountainstorm/MobileDevice/blob/master/LICENSE suggests the project is MIT-licensed, so `license MIT` would be appropriate. Note that the MIT license requires us to ship the license file: {{{ The above copyright notice and this permission notice shall be included in all copies or substantial portions of the Software. }}} So you'd have to add something along the lines of: {{{ post-destroot { xinstall -m0755 -d ${destroot}${prefix}/share/doc/${name} xinstall -m0644 ${worksrcpath}/LICENSE ${destroot}${prefix}/share/doc/${name}/ } }}} -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/42596#comment:1> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X
