I would like to add a variant to the boost port that installs the optional Adobe gil numeric extension. (See point 4 at <http:// opensource.adobe.com/wiki/display/gil/Downloads> for a description.)

The process for installing this extension is to simply untar the folder from <http://opensource.adobe.com/wiki/download/attachments/ 3866769/numeric.tar.gz> and then move the extracted folder to </opt/local/include/ boost-1_35/boost/gil/extension/numeric> (or the equivalent destroot location I suppose).

How would I write this as a variant?


Start by filing a ticket in the issue tracker...

Then, in the variant, you would append to the distfiles and the checksums. See the graphviz port's gui variant for a way to do that. You can also define a post-extract phase inside the variant to do an necessary moving of the extracted items.
