Since this is just moving files around, I have set

still gets run?
Since ASSP doesn't have a configure script, if it were being run
you'd see
an error message about it; I'm guessing you're talking about the
line
DEBUG: Executing org.macports.configure (assp)
which is a bit misleading because once it does that, it does
nothing else...
Yes, but his port says "use_configure no" but then also has
"configure {...}" (with actual code in place of "..."). In this
case, since you did write a configure phase, you should not say
"use_configure no".
That is how I felt as well, a few million emails ago, someone
mentioned to add it, and I thought it was odd, but did just so I
could move on. I should have asked for clarification.
"use_configure no" is how you tell MacPorts that this software does
not have a configure script and you do not want to provide a custom
configure phase.
The change to the line endings was done before the patch phase,
because in the patch phase, those files needed to be patched, but
the patchfiles themselves used UNIX line endings. The files to be
patched needed to be changed to have the same line endings as the
patchfile.
The patchfile could have been stored with DOS line endings, but
that would be weird on Mac OS X, and someone's editor might screw
it up when changing it in the future. Also not sure how the UNIX
command-line diff utilities fare with DOS line endings. Better to
use UNIX line endings; we're sure how that works.
Since your new portfile doesn't do any patching, you may not need
to muck with the line ending of these files anymore. Not sure.
I am torn on this issue. The original port maintainer used it, but
there is no contact address I can see. I can not ask, so I am
assuming he discovered some other reason why those line endings
were needed to be changed. I would like to delete that part, but
ahhhh... what the hell, I will remove it, and simply test that all
works out ok.
It was good, I learned fs-traverse as well as a lot of other tcl
stuff working on just that one issue.
It looks like the previous maintainer was rshaw. That would be Robert
Shaw, according to MacPortsDevelopers:

You could try emailing rshaw at macports dot org.
