I have just created my first two port contributions. I submitted one but I am having problems to decide the best approach for the second one.
I modified the ctags portfile to build the latest svn/trunk version instead of using the official release. The portfile is here: https://github.com/fgarcia/macports/blob/master/devel/ctags-devel/Portfile Since the official release lacks support for ObjectiveC I came up with two solutions: 1. Create a new port named "ctags-devel". That will show it is not an official release 2. Build a patch file for the ctags Portfile I am not sure which one is the normal way to deal with such situations. I went for point (1) but that port will collide with the ctags port. I know about the parameter to make ctags-devel to conflict with ctags, but I cannot find one where I can say that ctags-devel "provides" plain ctags too. For example, MacVim depends on ctags and I would like an easy way to avoid this dependency conflict. thanks Francisco _______________________________________________ macports-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.macosforge.org/mailman/listinfo/macports-users
