Mark, any eta on that work?
I just think the whole portfile.7 TCL EXTENSIONS "file" section in general is not too helpful for MacPorts developers, but I don't think I have time to fundamentally change it right now. And I'm not sure if this can be addressed to my satisfaction in a manfile sort of way, or whether it is just best handled in documentation anyway. I could add the new commands in the same way the new "delete" command was added, and that is all I have time to do right now, but it seems like we're just announcing new commands rather than explaining them. If that is good enough then I could do it within a week, but frankly I've lost track of the Kevin's description of the changes and I don't see it in the ChangeLog yet. Also, I've taken this as a pending item and I can have it done at the same time as well. http://trac.macosforge.org/projects/macports/ticket/11010 Mark _______________________________________________ macports-dev mailing list macports-dev@lists.macosforge.org http://lists.macosforge.org/mailman/listinfo/macports-dev
