Hi there, over at the Scribus list, I heard that there is a new stable version of Scribus out, namely 1.3.3.10. How and when will I be able to get it on my MacPorts? What is the procedure like? Cheers, Thorsten.

You should file an update request ticket in our issue tracker, if one does not already exist. Even better would be if you would update the portfile yourself, test it, make sure it works, then attach your patch to the ticket. Usually the port maintainer would notice that a new version is available and test and update the port. However, the scribus port has no maintainer. If you are interested in being its maintainer, let us know.

Hi Ryan, sounds cool, but I am just a poor user so far... I will try and update my portfile and so on. If I succeed, I'll apply for becoming a maintainer... quick career, don't you think. :-) Cheers, Thorsten.

Ryan, okay, found the Portfile to change, found the place to change the version number... How do I find the correct checksums: md, sha1, rmd160 of the new version? Cheers, Thorsten.

Ryan,

Cheers, Thorsten.
Okay, no worries, I've found it. Something along this line: %% md5 rrdtool-1.2.23.tar.gz %% openssl sha1 rrdtool-1.2.23.tar.gz %% openssl rmd160 rrdtool-1.2.23.tar.gz Thorsten.

Yes, except presumably you mean to use a scribus distfile, not an rrdtool distfile. This should all be addressed in the guide, by the way. For example, checksums are section 4.2.12: http://guide.macports.org/#development.creating-portfile If you have any suggestions about things which are missing or unclear in the guide, please bring them up. The guide is still new and a work in progress.

Ryan, mission accomplished. Scribus 1.3.3.10 downloads, compiles and runs all right. Filed a TRAC ticket right here http://trac.macosforge.org/projects/macports/ticket/13880 The guide helped me a big deal. I only took a long time to search WHERE my portfiles live - that could be explained a little better. Ah, and there is even a description of how to file a TRAC ticket... So I conclude, there seems to be almost everything in the guide already, but I find it still tricky to find. Maybe a "situational" ordering would be preferable over an "organizational" ordering... If I can help anyone with it, I volunteer to be the maintainer for Scribus. Good night, Thorsten.

I committed your patch. Thanks!

We have a couple people who have been working on the guide; maybe one of them can respond to this.

Should I make you the maintainer of scribus? Let me know and I will. If you like we can make it an open-maintainer port, so that you're listed as the maintainer, but anyone else can feel free to make changes too.
