a-port-devel: what is the good practice
Hello, I'd like to add a new port for the developer version of the auto-multiple-choice application based on a recent subversion version. What are the best practices? - Should I define the port for the last subversion revision or for a specific revision? - If the port is defined for a specific revision, how often should I update the port: once a month, more frequently, less frequently, at will? - What are your advice for a devel port?

You must specify a specific revision because builds must be reproducible. Unless the developers actually have a strategy of releasing a number of development builds before a new stable build, we usually only create devel ports when there's a particular need, for example a new feature or bugfix that you want to test that hasn't been released in a stable version yet. How often to update the port is up to you. For example you might stop updating the port altogether once you've verified the feature or bugfix works, and once the next stable version incorporating it is released, you might retire the devel port. With most of my devel ports, like glib2-devel, pango-devel, cairo-devel, libpixman-devel, when I update is dictated by when the developers release a new development version. With one of them though, graphviz-devel, new development versions are released automatically every 24 hours, so I don't update the port quite that often; I tend to update that one about every 10 days, but that's because I'm quite interested in graphviz. ___ macports-dev mailing list macports-dev@lists.macosforge.org https://lists.macosforge.org/mailman/listinfo/macports-dev
Re: suggestion for Fortran recipe
Yeah, that sounds reasonable.
As for the PortGroup, IIRC, someone was working on a general compilers
PortGroup which would incorporate this.

Hi Jeremy and others,
I think a few lines can be simplified in the new Fortran recipe. For default
variants, it seems to me that it makes no difference whether it is set when
the variant was explicitly selected.
i.e this code from the Portfile recipe
if {![variant_isset q8] ![variant_isset q32]} {
default_variants +q16
}
is functionally equivalent to
if {![variant_isset q8] ![variant_isset q16] ![variant_isset q32]} {
default_variants +q16
}
since if +q16 is selected it is not important whether we consider that choice
to have been made by default or not.
As a result, in the Fortran recipe,
if {[variant_isset gcc${ver_no_dot}]} {
if {${default_fortran_variant} != +gcc${ver_no_dot}} {
set default_fortran_variant
}
}
is equivalent in functionality to
if {[variant_isset gcc${ver_no_dot}]} {
set default_fortran_variant
}
and the corresponding if-condition can be removed in the g95 statement, thus
removing some lines and simplifying it.
I am also wondering, can't the Fortran recipe be made a PortGroup? It seems
problematic for the maintainability of the portfiles for there to be such a
large block duplicated in many portfiles. If it were a PortGroup, then issues
like the one above could be settled centrally.
Best,
David

New wiki page describing commit rules needed or nonsense?
I figured that a section about rules concerning properly formatted commit messages are missing in the wiki (not to talk about the Guide), which is why I created the following page: https://trac.macports.org/wiki/CommitRules below the committers guide https://trac.macports.org/wiki/CommittersGuide In case I am mistaken and the information is already present, but hidden someplace else, please let me know.

Compile/Link 101
Could someone please explain some very basic stuff about
compiling/linking C and C++ code? For a new version of Myth, the
configure script succeeds with XCode 5 on Mtn Lion and _fails_ with
XCode 4.3 on Lion. The bit that I'm looking at just tests whether
certain libraries (faac in this case) are installed and, if so,
enables additional features in the package. The 'config.ep' file
(btw, is that a Unix/Linux standard thingy?) shows how it tried to do
the test:
BEGIN
/opt/local/var/macports/build/_Users_mytthtv_macports_mythtv-core.27_dev/mythtv-core.27/work/.tmp/mythtv_conf.xUGXlOJK.c
1 #include stdint.h
2 #include faac.h
3 long check_faacEncGetVersion(void) { return (long) faacEncGetVersion; }
4 int main(void) { return 0; }
END
/opt/local/var/macports/build/_Users_mytthtv_macports_mythtv-core.27_dev/mythtv-core.27/work/.tmp/mythtv_conf.xUGXlOJK.c

invocation)
ERROR: libfaac not found
faac _is_ installed:
MediaMini:~ mytthtv$ port installed |grep aac
faac @1.28_2 (active)
I actually don't know how the test _can succeed_ with XCode 5? There
is no '-L' flag to indicate that the library is under /opt/local/lib.
I must be missing something obvious. Pointers to introductory
material gratefully accepted.

There is no '-L' flag to indicate that the library is under /opt/local/lib. MacPorts sets the LIBRARY_PATH environment variable in the configure phase, which sufficiently recent compilers take into account when linking. I don't know exactly when Clang started respecting it. vq ___ macports-dev mailing list macports-dev@lists.macosforge.org https://lists.macosforge.org/mailman/listinfo/macports-dev
