request to get a port update for lang/qore reviewed

I submitted the following update for a port I maintain, lang/qore, I have
seen no movement on it. I'm happy to make any necessary changes, I just
need some feedback.

Re: Help with getting movement on "anomalous" port

2014-02-22 Thread B. Estrade
Hello,

As I've been told this is not a "first come first serve" sort of process,
but this is taking an inordinate amount of time. I am at this point
pleading that someone take this up.

I maintain 2 other ports, lang/qore and www/vee - am the author of the
latter - and have never had such issues as I am having with getting this
port looked at.  Please some take a look at it.

Thank you,
Brett

Thank you. I have this information in the pkg-descr file, but I am happy to
add it to the PR. It's a basic fork of litecoin (already in there) and very
similar to the ever growing collection of crypto currency clients in
net-p2p.  https://www.feathercoin.com/

Help with getting movement on "anomalous" port

2014-02-14 Thread B. Estrade
A couple of weeks ago I submitted a new port for net-p2p/feathercoin.
Shortly thereafter, it was marked as miscategorized so I resubmitted
thinking that this was the proper course of action.

(at the bottom of: http://portsmon.freebsd.org/portsanomalies.py)

http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=186324
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=186493

It now seems that they are stuck in the queue since I have had another port
maintainer-update (lang/qore) go through without any problems.

Please advise on the best way to make progress on this, either through
fixing something missing in the new port or getting it pushed through.

Thank you!
Brett

The man page is not that big, I just checked due to my interest in
this thread. portmaster seems to be very configurable and scriptable,
but I would suggest that among the "examples" in the man page be the
idiom(s) one might want to use if a complete batch process is desired.

I recently had the same issue, but it turns out I was trying to test
the port as an unprivileged user. Try testing the build with sudo or
as root.

It takes a little while to get used to, but then you'll wonder why you
had problems in the first place. It's a breeze.

If I may "bikeshed", it's probably more appropriately in 'science'
given that there is no 'geo' category similar to 'astro' or 'biology':

  http://www.saga-gis.org/saga_modules_doc/index.html

It seems to be much more than a mere plotting tool, and is certainly
not a math library or "laboratory" (e.g., Octave).

Take a look at the types of applications in 'math' vs 'science', and it
should be clear that it is general enough to belong in
'science'.

Just my $0.02...

Okay.  So I followed the instructions on updating at 
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/porters-handbook/port-upgrading.html,
 and during the process updated the checksum file with 'make makesum' and ran 
the suggested install/deinstall/reinstall/etc tests. Everything worked fine, so 
I sent in the result of 'diff -ruN vee.bak vee' in through send-pr.

So is that about it? Also, I mentioned in the report that I'd like to be the 
maintainer for the port, but would like to reiterate it.

Thanks - this was pretty fun and the replies I got were very helpful.

Cheers,
Brett

www/vee

2008-09-19 Thread B. Estrade
I am the author of www/vee, and when checking to see if it's been upgraded to 
the latest I found out that there was no longer a maintainer for this port.

http://www.freshports.org/www/?page=19

I am interested in getting the latest version into ports, and am willing to 
become port maintainer for it - if someone would kindly point me to the 
documentation describing how to do such a thing.

The vee site is: http://www.0x743.com/vee/
