Any chance of seeing a port of Conky?
HI folks, Not sure if this is the correct way to go about asking for this and, if not, then I do apologise in advance but would there be any chance of seeing Conky on MacPorts? http://conky.sourceforge.net/ Let me know if you think this is possible.

Launching Weechat
Hi folks, Having a bit of a problem with Weechat. I installed it today and I can't get it to launch. I open up the Terminal and type in weechat (I'm assuming this is correct as I normally just type the name of the program I wish to launch with any other MacPorts installed program) and it doesn't launch. I'm not getting any messages or errors. I'm using a bash shell. Here is my list of installed ports - http://pastebin.com/Bnp4p9Na This is probably a basic question but I'm a newbie. :) Thanks!

Re: Any chance of seeing a port of Conky?
Hi, The correct way would be to create a Portfile yourself, and submit a trac ticket with it. See http://guide.macports.org/chunked/project.contributing.html If you don’t feel up to creating the port file yourself, you’ll need hope someone else finds the package interesting enough to do it for you ;) cheers Chris On 30 Nov 2013, at 10:59am, Jeff Friedman friedmanje...@gmail.com wrote: HI folks, Not sure if this is the correct way to go about asking for this and, if not, then I do apologise in advance but would there be any chance of seeing Conky on MacPorts? http://conky.sourceforge.net/ Let me know if you think this is possible.

First, Conky is a free, light-weight system monitor for X, where X is the X window system.

Second, there are only few standards for system monitoring and OS X and other BSD derivates are probably sufficiently different from Linux systems in this regard that some of Conky's statistics features might not even work on OS X, e.g. Conky might attempt to use the Linux method to read your current CPU usage or network traffic, which might just not work on OS X, or worse, crash the process.
