I have had pymol as an open ticket for several weeks now... http://trac.macports.org/ticket/21376 What exactly is the process for getting a package into the dports archive so that it is available to other users?
You file a ticket, and if nobody commits it after a few days, you ping the list, like you're doing now.
The absence of scientific packages like pymol costs MacPorts a lot of potential users. It also is one if the most severe tests of the OpenGL support in X11 so it should be available for testing the Xquartz releases on MacPorts. Currently it works fine when built against a tcl which uses--disable-core-foundation... http://trac.macports.org/ticket/21968
I've assigned the ticket to tcl's maintainer for comment. But if he doesn't, we can feel free to commit it since the port is openmaintainer.
FYI, if MacPorts had wider range of packages, the breakage in tcl (as of 8.5.7) would have been more easily noticed.
That could be true. :) Thank you for contributing pymol and discovering this problem.
