Re: request for port create command, to build a portfile from a URL

Ken, I pushed to GitHub a skeleton of the idea: https://github.com/emcrisostomo/macports-utils I've moved what I'm using to a new script to see what the end result looked like. If you want to try it, just grab the release tarball here (if you don't have the Autotools installed):

Re: request for port create command, to build a portfile from a URL

I play in a different playground and primarily use either master, dev or develop branches as I run with latest codebase available. ffmpeg, imagemagick, opencv, clang6, openblas, etc. These get a lot of PRs everyday. Having to update the Portfiles manually with latest hash and date/version is

Re: request for port create command, to build a portfile from a URL

This is a little bit offtopic IMHO, anyway: I found surprising too that the github portgroup was not documented, given the high percentage of software that I build out of github repositories, and that's why I recently contributed the documentation of the github portgroup:

I like the auto calculate hashes For grabbing something from url sounds like having a lot of switches, for archive type and depedencies what if link is a redirect to cdn, or something like Dropbox or symbolic > On Mar 6, 2018, at 06:58, Ken Cunningham >

Re: request for port create command, to build a portfile from a URL

Hi Ken - I think that's a great idea. In "GNU Radio" land, we have such a tool for creating out-of-tree GR modules, called "gr_modtool"; it's great for setting up the skeleton for such OOT GR scripts. The end-user still has to fill in many "blanks", but this tool provides the starting point. I

request for port create command, to build a portfile from a URL

It would be nice to have a command like port create URL that would download the URL, calc the checksums for it, and build a basic Portfile for it. It could ask for a category to use for the Port. In a more advance version, it could extract the URL and do some quick analysis on it. if
