I have taken a look into MacPorts and I think I should invest some time to update it. Here are the packages currently found by search gnustep:
gnustep gnustep/gnustep 0.18.1 GNUstep meta port gnustep-back gnustep/gnustep-back 0.12.0 A back-end component for the GNUstep GUI Library. gnustep-base gnustep/gnustep-base 1.14.0 A library of general-purpose Objective C objects. gnustep-core gnustep/gnustep-core 0.18.1 GNUstep core / Startup package gnustep-dl2 gnustep/gnustep-dl2 0.10.1 GNUstep Database Library 2 (GDL2) gnustep-gui gnustep/gnustep-gui 0.12.0 A library of graphical user interface Objective C classes gnustep-make gnustep/gnustep-make 2.0.1 GNUstep makefile package gnustep-make-cocoa gnustep/gnustep-make-cocoa 1.13.0 GNUstep makefile package for the Cocoa API gnustep-make-docs gnustep/gnustep-make-docs 1.13.0 GNUstep makefile documentation These are not the latest stable versions, but almost. So I think an update is just changing some version numbers so that the latest stable versions are downloaded. But when looking into the portfiles, there are even more: drwxr-xr-x 4 hns admin 136 17 Feb 15:56 ArtResources drwxr-xr-x 4 root admin 136 17 Feb 15:56 Etoile-devel drwxr-xr-x 3 hns admin 102 17 Feb 15:56 GMastermind drwxr-xr-x 3 hns admin 102 17 Feb 15:56 GMines drwxr-xr-x 3 hns admin 102 17 Feb 15:56 GNUMail drwxr-xr-x 3 hns admin 102 17 Feb 15:56 HighlighterKit drwxr-xr-x 3 root admin 102 17 Feb 15:56 Jigsaw drwxr-xr-x 3 hns admin 102 17 Feb 15:56 KeyArcher drwxr-xr-x 3 hns admin 102 17 Feb 15:56 PRICE drwxr-xr-x 3 hns admin 102 17 Feb 15:56 Pantomime drwxr-xr-x 3 hns admin 102 17 Feb 15:56 Performance drwxr-xr-x 3 root admin 102 17 Feb 15:56 PreferencePanes drwxr-xr-x 3 hns admin 102 17 Feb 15:56 ProjectCenter drwxr-xr-x 4 hns admin 136 17 Feb 15:56 ProjectManager drwxr-xr-x 3 hns admin 102 17 Feb 15:56 Renaissance drwxr-xr-x 3 hns admin 102 17 Feb 15:56 SQLClient drwxr-xr-x 3 hns admin 102 17 Feb 15:56 TalkSoup drwxr-xr-x 3 hns admin 102 17 Feb 15:56 WizardKit drwxr-xr-x 3 hns admin 102 17 Feb 15:56 Yap.app drwxr-xr-x 5 hns admin 170 10 Mär 17:47 gnustep drwxr-xr-x 4 hns admin 136 17 Feb 15:56 gnustep-back drwxr-xr-x 3 hns admin 102 17 Feb 16:21 gnustep-base drwxr-xr-x 3 root admin 102 17 Feb 15:57 gnustep-core drwxr-xr-x 4 hns admin 136 17 Feb 15:57 gnustep-dl2 drwxr-xr-x 4 hns admin 136 17 Feb 15:57 gnustep-gui drwxr-xr-x 3 hns admin 102 17 Feb 16:21 gnustep-make drwxr-xr-x 3 hns admin 102 17 Feb 15:57 gnustep-make-cocoa drwxr-xr-x 3 hns admin 102 17 Feb 15:57 gnustep-make-docs drwxr-xr-x 3 hns admin 102 17 Feb 15:57 gorm drwxr-xr-x 4 hns admin 136 17 Feb 15:57 gworkspace drwxr-xr-x 3 hns admin 102 17 Feb 15:57 netclasses drwxr-xr-x 3 hns admin 102 17 Feb 15:57 pdfkit drwxr-xr-x 3 hns admin 102 17 Feb 15:57 plconv drwxr-xr-x 4 hns admin 136 17 Feb 15:57 system-preferences So, there is already quite a lot there! If we look e.g. at the PRICE portfile it looks like: # $Id: Portfile 30229 2007-10-22 23:01:24Z [EMAIL PROTECTED] $ PortSystem 1.0 PortGroup gnustep 1.0 name PRICE version 0.8.1 platforms darwin maintainers nomaintainer homepage http://price.sourceforge.net/ description A high-quality image manipulation and enhancement application. long_description ${description} master_sites sourceforge:price checksums md5 f5a357f6fd93661f4bf778c388f07bc0 worksrcdir ${name} This is a TCL script (http://guide.macports.org/#development). More important is IMHO that there is no maintainer. The last author has checked it in in Oct 2007. So, someone has voluntarily crafted that - please notify yourself if you read this list. Now, when I try to install/update the full gnustep package, there comes an error message: MacBook-hns:PRICE hns$ sudo port install gnustep Error: Unable to execute port: couldn't change working directory to "/ opt/local/var/macports/sources/rsync.macports.org/release/ports/ gnustep/Etoile": no such file or directory MacBook-hns:PRICE hns$ That is because the sub-package has been renamed to Etoile-devel but some dependency has not been tracked in some master file. I have manually renamed this and now it has started fetching and compiling. So, I will report if there are news...
