Sounds reasonable. Will update my ports for this as well.

Not exactly!
But, effectively, the behaviour was changes, since I tested the last time. I
discussed it already on the list, which probably let to this changes.
It is the last part which is different.
If pattern not found it now gives me:
Error: cannot check if globus-common was updated (regex didn't match)
This is for sure reasonable. But in this special case: if no update was
provided, the port is fine and up to date. But of cause if I would mess up the
regex, this be remain undetected, so the procedure above is probably not ideal.

Correct, components live their own live, but at certain intervals are released
as a whole toolkit packages. Package managers (for example on Linux) install
the independent components, and so will Macports (hopefully). We (Dennis
provided most of these ports, I CC him) also provide only a subset of all
available components, basically the client part.

The component sources grouped by their Globus TK version and for some reason
separated into different directories:
When released as part of the toolkit:
http://www.globus.org/ftppub/gt5/5.2/5.2.5/packages/src/
But updates go here:
http://www.globus.org/ftppub/gt5/5.2/5.2.5/updates/src/
Here the more concrete example for component `globus_common`, first for the
"up-to-date case", than for the "outdated" case. The second uses the precedent
toolkit release and the component version used for this release.
- matching the packages directory finds the correct packages:
livecheck.type regex
livecheck.url http://www.globus.org/ftppub/gt5/5.2/5.2.5/packages/src/
livecheck.regex ">${_name}-(\\d+(\\.\\d+)+)\\${extract.suffix}<"
DEBUG: Port (livecheck) version is 14.10
DEBUG: Fetching http://www.globus.org/ftppub/gt5/5.2/5.2.5/packages/src/
DEBUG: The regex is ">globus_common-(\d+(\.\d+)+)\.tar.gz<"
DEBUG: The regex matched ">globus_common-14.10.tar.gz<", extracted "14.10"
globus-common seems to be up to date
- matching the "updates" does not find anything and produces an error:
DEBUG: Port (livecheck) version is 14.10
DEBUG: Fetching http://www.globus.org/ftppub/gt5/5.2/5.2.5/updates/src/
DEBUG: The regex is ">globus_common-(\d+(\.\d+)+)\.tar.gz<"
Error: cannot check if globus-common was updated (regex didn't match)
I this case the is no update, so the port would be up to date.
** Now let's see what happens if some components are updated.
- matching the packages directory finds it is up to date:
DEBUG: Port (livecheck) version is 14.9
DEBUG: Fetching http://www.globus.org/ftppub/gt5/5.2/5.2.4/packages/src/
DEBUG: The regex is ">globus_common-(\d+(\.\d+)+)\.tar.gz<"
DEBUG: The regex matched ">globus_common-14.9.tar.gz<", extracted "14.9"
globus-common seems to be up to date
- but there is actually a update available:
DEBUG: Port (livecheck) version is 14.9
DEBUG: Fetching http://www.globus.org/ftppub/gt5/5.2/5.2.4/updates/src/
DEBUG: The regex is ">globus_common-(\d+(\.\d+)+)\.tar.gz<"
DEBUG: The regex matched ">globus_common-14.7.tar.gz<", extracted "14.7"
DEBUG: The regex matched ">globus_common-14.8.tar.gz<", extracted "14.8"
DEBUG: The regex matched ">globus_common-14.10.tar.gz<", extracted "14.10"
globus-common seems to have been updated (port version: 14.9, new version:
14.10)

I guess, I do not understand this. But maybe I explained the situation already
above.
We do not want to install the Globus toolkit as a single port. The components
will be in separated ports, because it would be a very messy Portfile for
something like 20-30 ports and probably quite some patching. So I would prefer
to introduce a portgroup to hold all the repeated patterns and use single port
for each component.
Anyway, if you interested in more details, you could browse the repo of Dennis
or my fork on GitHub:
https://github.com/dvandok/globus-macports/tree/macports
https://github.com/dvandok/globus-macports/tree/macports
I have some newer (WIP) stuff not yet pushed.
Thanks for all the support!
