So, what is holding the port upgrading back?

I am reluctant to steal this port from Paul, but he did not comment yet. For an easy port update I would call a maintainer timeout, but this is a whole rewrite. So I don't know if he would be interested in maintaining it any longer at all. -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.macports.org/ticket/19364#comment:4> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS

I don't care about ownership of ports and I'm happy to hand MKVToolnix to ruud. As a matter of fact, MKVToolnix is so linked with libmatroska and libebml that I'm wondering if ruud, you wouldn't want to maintain those two as well. -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.macports.org/ticket/19364#comment:6> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS

It would have been nice if I was consulted before you transferred ownership.

You seemed to be in quite a hurry for the rewritten portfile to be committed, so I thought this deserved you maintainship. You'd be a much better maintainer of mkvtoolnix than I used to be.

But now that I am... How do I check for new versions (mainly for libmatroska and libebml if I were to maintain them), and what else do I need to know to do my job?

You can use the livecheck feature. {{{ $ sudo port livecheck libmatroska }}} This currently doesn't output anything because the port is up to date. You can also run it in verbose mode : {{{ $ sudo port -dv livecheck libmatroska }}} There is also a syntax to run this for all the ports you maintain : {{{ $ sudo port livecheck maintainer:il.fontys.nl:ruud }}} However, this doesn't work with mkvtoolnix because the default livecheck code isn't suitable (and the section you dropped with your rewrite doesn't work either as it referred to a web page that no longer exists). -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.macports.org/ticket/19364#comment:8> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
