#27887: svg2pdf update -------------------------------+-------------------------------------------- Reporter: ejtttje@… | Owner: macports-tickets@… Type: update | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: Keywords: haspatch | Port: svg2pdf -------------------------------+-------------------------------------------- Comment(by ejtttje@…): The svg2pdf author replied to me, and declined to provide a dedicated svg2pdf package because it turns out there is already a 'rsvg-convert' tool bundled with librsvg. I confirmed this is already available in MacPorts, and produces byte-identical output to the svg2pdf update I attached above, but also accepts additional arguments for controlling zoom, background, etc. Considering rsvg-convert is a supported tool of the main librsvg library, it clearly seems to be the preferable route vs. this unmaintained version. So, I see two options: a. Convert this svg2pdf port to a dependance on librsvg with a simple wrapper script, e.g.: {{{ #!/bin/sh if [ $# -lt 2 -o "$1" = "-h" -o "$1" = "--help" ] ; then echo "FAIL: usage: $0 input_file.svg output_file.pdf" exit 255; fi rsvg-convert -f pdf -o "$2" "$1" }}} b. Remove this port, perhaps with some kind of reference or alias to librsvg's tool (I don't think MacPorts has such a thing?) -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/27887#comment:2> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS

If we were to drop this port, the rsvg-convert functionality of librsvg isn't as well known, so people might have trouble finding rsvg-convert on their own. Also since librsvg doesn't directly provide a svg2pdf script, using 'replaced_by' isn't 100% appropriate. So I prefer option (a), it will maintain syntactic compatibility with any scripts which are using svg2pdf, yet provide a maintained/modern svg implementation. I don't know Portfile syntax well enough to know how to make it install the script shown above. Can it be stored directly in svg2pdf/files and then somehow referenced from the Portfile to install it? -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/27887#comment:4> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS

Shouldn't this be rather placed in bin and marked conflicting with the svg2pdf port? -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/27887#comment:9> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
