ASSP 1.3.3.10 is current, and also, there is a very strong beta of
2.x
as well I would love to see in the ports system. What is the best

to find the maintainer, and see about getting this updated.

Since the maintainer is "nomaintainer" then maintainership is up for
grabs. So you can become the
maintainer if you like. Just update the Portfile as necessary with
yourself as maintainer
and also openmaintainer if you are willing to let others make
changes to
the port. Then
create a ticket on Trac and attach your changes, preferably as a patch
to the current Portfile.
See http://guide.macports.org/ for procedural details.
This is my first effort to make a port update file locally on my
machine, so be gentle :)
sudo port clean --work assp

I located this path:
/opt/local/var/macports/sources/rsync.macports.org/release/ports/mail/
assp/
it would be nice to know how to locate that path with a command.
Made a copy:

sudo port edit assp
Changed -> version 1.4.3.0
Changed -> maintainers [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Added -> distname ASSP_${version}-Install
pre-patch seems to run around and look for two files, to rename
file rename "${worksrcpath}/ASSP Documentation.htm" ${worksrcpath}/
ASSPDocumentation.htm
file rename "${worksrcpath}/Regular Expression Tutorial.htm" $
{worksrcpath}/RegularExpressionutorial.htm
Neither of them exist, and even if they did, they would have moved to
the docs/ directory. Either way, I am not sure what was bad about
spaces in the files anyway, they are html files, and most browsers can
deal with that.
I simply removed those two lines.
Removed -> patchfiles patch-assp.pl.diff
Here is where my lack of experience comes on, I have no idea if the
patch is needed, so at this point, I am commenting it out and just
trying to get it to build. I know it will build clean on a Intel
machine, so I would imagine, this patch is no longer needed with so
many versions passing.
Save the file, and run:
sudo port install assp
* Error on checksum, after a bit of poking, I see there is:
sudo port -d checksum assp
Portfile checksum: ASSP_1.4.3.0-Install.zip md5

Error: Status 1 encountered during processing.
And now, we get stuck when the portfile tries to glob through the
source files, I suspect because {worksrcpath} is somehow wrong. It
looks to me like this is the path that it is calling {workssrcpath}
/opt/local/var/macports/build/
_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync
.macports.org_release_ports_mail_assp/work/ASSP_1.4.3.0-Install
*What is it doing anyway, just fixing line endings? Is that really
needed?
However, in that path is another directory of "ASSP_1.4.3.0-Install",
so it is this:
.../
_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync
.macports.org_release_ports_mail_assp/work/ASSP_1.4.3.0-Install/
ASSP_1.4.3.0-Install
But then, even in that path, there is one last /ASSP directory as
well, so the full path to the source files is really:
/opt/local/var/macports/build/\
_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync
.macports.org_release_ports_mail_assp/\
work/ASSP_1.4.3.0-Install/ASSP_1.4.3.0-Install/ASSP
I would wager, this is because the developer has changed his layout,
if I download, and unzip, I show a path to source of:
ASSP_1.4.3.0-Install/ASSP
* How do I debug and print out the {worksrcpath} so I can see what it
is, and what is it that sets that path as well?
Looking at configure:
configure {
reinplace "s%^#!.*perl%#![binaryInPath perl]%" \
${worksrcpath}/assp.pl \
${worksrcpath}/move2num.pl \
${worksrcpath}/rebuildspamdb.pl \
${worksrcpath}/repair.pl \
${worksrcpath}/stat.pl
reinplace "s%/usr/local/assp%${assp_base}%" \
${worksrcpath}/ASSPDocumentation.htm \
${worksrcpath}/stats.sh \
${worksrcpath}/assp.pl \
${worksrcpath}/rc/assp.dat \
${worksrcpath}/rc/start.dat \
${worksrcpath}/rc/stop.dat
reinplace "s%/usr/local%${prefix}%" \
${worksrcpath}/ASSPDocumentation.htm
}
I can see, I am pretty sure I need to delete the 2
"ASSPDocumentation.htm" lines, is this correct?
I am not sure what this does:
reinplace "s%^#!.*perl%#![binaryInPath perl]%"
And as you can see, given the above mentioned {worksrcpath} configure
is never going to find those files. As a first effort, I tried
commenting out:
#extract.dir ${worksrcpath}
After than, I ran clean, then install...
http://pastebin.com/m2053b159
I think it is there, line 35, we sort of run into the same thing,
which is there is this "ASSP" directory path that is missing, and I do
not know how to add it in, without hard coding it, which if course,
would make this too hard to make an updated port file again in the
future if the developer moves stuff around.
Hopefully I have troubleshot this as best as I can, I am stuck at this
point, with this being my first attempt to make a port update file.
Any help is appreciated.
