so it looks like netcdf4 support has been commented out. Anyone know
why?
Probably related to ticket #16262:
<http://trac.macports.org/ticket/16262>
arrgg! I just spent a couple hours learning about how to write port
files and hacked the netcdf portfile, then found that 7 hours ago
someone had already fixed it!
Oh well, at least I learned something. However:
I'd also love to get '--enable-dap if possible
It also looks like the recent release is 4.0.1, it would be nice to
get that updated.
The current port file does support netcdf4, which was the big one, but
it's still using version 4.0, rather than 4.0.1, and it isn't using
--enable-dap
How might those changed get in? I've tested them, and they work for
me. As there is no maintainer, and the ticket has been closed, I'm not
sure how to proceed.
--enable-dap required libcurl, which got pulled in from:
/usr/lib/libcurl.3.dylib
Should it use a macport libcurl instead? If so, how do I get it to do
that?
By the way, I used python's hashlib module to generate the sha1 hash
-- is there a simple mac-ports way to do that?
I've enclosed my version of the portfile (re-named to netcdf-4 to not
stomp on netcdf) in case anyone wants a look.

The standard approach is to submit your changes in the form of a patch
against the current Portfile as an attachment to a new ticket requesting
the update. A committer should then help you.
To use the MacPorts libcurl (MacPorts libraries should be used when at
all possible to maintain a known environment) add
port:curl
to the depends_lib statement.
if you run
sudo port -d checksum
on your Portfile, if the checksums are not correct, port will give you
a debug message with what it has calculated for the hashs
for this file in terms of a checksum statement. Of course, you need to
make sure that you really have an official copy of
the distribution file if you are going to assign checksums to it.
