#45739: submission: reduce -----------------------------+-------------------------- Reporter: mark.brethen@… | Owner: ryandesign@… Type: submission | Status: assigned Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: Resolution: | Keywords: Port: reduce | -----------------------------+-------------------------- Changes (by ryandesign@…): * owner: macports-tickets@… => ryandesign@… * status: new => assigned Old description:
A new metaport has been created for reduce, a computer algebra system (CAS). It comprises the following sub-ports:
reduce-common: Installs the files that are independent of the Lisp system used. reduce-csl: Installs the Codemist Standard Lisp version of REDUCE. reduce-psl: Installs the Portable Standard Lisp version of REDUCE. reduce-addons: Useful addons for the REDUCE Computer Algebra System.
Issuing 'port install reduce' will install all four sub-ports. Otherwise, the user may install each sub-port as desired.
Note 1: A separate ticket will be issued to make the reduce-algebra port obsolete.
Note 2: This port uses svn for fetch since: 1)I work directly with developers to fix bugs on darwin platform and 2) Binary distributions are not released frequently (the last one was for snow-leopard).
Note 3: This submission addresses the following open tickets: #45299, #39483, #34895, #32973, #32648, #32595 and #32583

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. Is autoconf really a library dependency? Usually autoconf is only used at build time. 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. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/45739#comment:9> MacPorts <https://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X
