#37641: couchdb-devel @1.3.0a1177555 Project moved to git ------------------------------+-------------------------- Reporter: jeff-macports@… | Owner: ryandesign@… Type: update | Status: assigned Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 2.1.2 Resolution: | Keywords: haspatch Port: couchdb-devel | ------------------------------+-------------------------- Changes (by ryandesign@…): * owner: macports-tickets@… => ryandesign@… * status: new => assigned Comment: Thanks, I'll have a more thorough look at this later. For now: You mentioned elsewhere wanting to maintain this port. Please feel free to include that in your patch: just change the maintainers line to your email address (in our obfuscated host:user format), optionally in addition to "openmaintainer" if you'd like to leave open the possibility of other committers making changes to the port. Hopefully you'll also want to maintain couchdb. pkgconfig is almost certainly a build dependency only, as probably are automake, autoconf, help2man, and perhaps libtool. That's something that still needs fixing in couchdb as well. Including the git branch in the version number is not a great idea since the git branch is essentially a random number, and so it won't always increase, and when it doesn't, we'll have to increase the epoch. Instead, I'd put the date corresponding to that git version into the version number. 1.4.0-20130101 or whatever. Thanks for bringing back some fixes from the couchdb port. We should strive to make couchdb and couchdb-devel as similar as possible. That includes the whitespace, though whitespace changes should be separate from functional changes. Ideally we'd have both ports using our standard whitespace style of 4 spaces (not tabs) per indent and things aligned into two neat columns. I see you removed the configure.ac patch. Does the current version of the configure script no longer call out to erlang to see if it has been compiled with ssl support? The reason we were using this patch in couchdb, and I just added it to couchdb-devel, is because apparently for some users that check failed, and the port already checks it so there's no benefit to checking it again in the configure script. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/37641#comment:4> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
