I'll continue this discussion on the dev list, where I probably
should have started it in the first place.

perforce does it, you might want to have a look at it.
True... Thanks... I guess what I should have asked is if there were
any ports that download disk images and install their contents, since
that's a bit more complicated. I know MacPorts knows how to extract
files from .tar.gz and .tar.bz2 archives, but I'm wondering if
there's anything in place for .dmg files.
Grepping all portfiles for "dmg" I only see one -- abiword -- which
lets you choose either to compile from source or install a binary
from a disk image. For the latter, it looks like this:
variant use_binary conflicts use_source {
distname AbiWord-${version}-10.2
extract.suffix .dmg.gz
master_sites http://www.abisource.org/downloads/abiword/$
{version}/MacOSX
checksums md5 13d249d7f0181a5c44e7342b302b19ae
use_bzip2 no
extract.post_args > ${workpath}/${distname}.dmg
post-extract {
file mkdir /tmp/${name}-${version}
system "hdiutil attach ${workpath}/${distname}.dmg -private -
nobrowse -mountpoint /tmp/${name}-${version}"
}
patch {}
use_configure no
build {}
destroot {
file mkdir ${destroot}/Applications/MacPorts
file copy /tmp/${name}-${version}/AbiWord.app ${destroot}/
Applications/MacPorts
}
post-destroot {
system "hdiutil detach /tmp/${name}-${version}"
file delete -force /tmp/${name}-${version}
}
}
So it calls hdiutil directly. Is that how I should do it? Or are
there any built-in MacPorts commands for dealing with disk image
distributions?
