What is the proper way to maintain a local port? There are two cases that I'm looking at:
1. Creating a new port for a program that does not currently have a port. 2. Modifying an existing port. For 2, the specific case I'm looking at is qemu -- I only need the 386 emulator, and do not need to build the other 3 that are built by default (and apparently have no way to turn off). The "ideal" method as I see it, based on very limited knowledge of what's involved, would be to edit a port file, store both the original and my modification, and on update of the portfile trigger a "you must inspect this portfile" warning, and show how my patches will fit into the new portfile. For 1, there could be any number of things that do not have a port yet that I'd want to create and test a port for, before submitting. -- Political and economic blog of a strict constitutionalist http://StrictConstitution.BlogSpot.com This message may have been spell checked by a laptop kitten. _______________________________________________ macports-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.macosforge.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/macports-users
