#15771: Portfile for py25-tables ------------------------------+--------------------------------------------- Reporter: tom.duck@dal.ca | Owner: ram@macports.org Type: enhancement | Status: assigned Priority: Normal | Milestone: Port Submissions Component: ports | Version: 1.6.0 Resolution: | Keywords: py25-tables ------------------------------+--------------------------------------------- Comment (by tom.duck@dal.ca): There are three utilities bundled with pytables: ptdump, ptrepack and nctoh5. See http://www.pytables.org/docs/manual/apd.html. I have attached a patch for setup.py and a new Portfile that uses it. The patch appends "-py25" to each of the utility names. There are also some additional dependencies, and they are commented on in the Portfile. The python24 version should probably be updated in the same way (both for the script names and dependencies). The approach fink uses is to create symlinks from the unversioned names to the higher-version scripts (e.g., ptdump -> ptdump-25). See http://www.finkports.info/ports/sci/pytables-py.html. That seems like a reasonable choice, although I have no idea how to implement that in the context of MacPorts. Having symlinks from the unversioned names is needed to avoid breaking user scripts that may be depend on them. -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.macports.org/ticket/15771#comment:5> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
