Promote octave-devel to octave?

Blair Zajac — 2013-05-22T17:43:00

octave is at 3.2.4 while octave-devel is at 3.6.4.  Any reason not to 
copy octave-devel to octave and do work on octave until the next major 
version of octave comes out?

Putting my Mac to sleep wedged my Installer package scripts

Michael Crawford — 2013-05-20T02:08:07

Hi,

I'm trying to install MacPorts 2.1.3 on my Retina Display MacBook Pro,
Model Identifier MacBookPro10,1, running Mac OS X 10.8.3.

When the Installer was running the package scripts, and reporting that it
had five minutes left, I had to catch a bus so I put the unit to sleep,
then closed the lid.

When I opened it, the Installer reported that it had seven minutes left.  I
let the installer run quite a lot longer than seven minutes, but the
estimated time left steadily grew to seventeen minutes without any
advancement of the progress bar.

Finally I used Command-Option-Escape to kill the process, but when I try to
run the installer again, it tells me that it's waiting for a previous
installation to complete.  I killed the process again, then tried to
restart, but OS X won't let me.  Instead it displays a window that says I
have to wait until the installation completes.  It still says Running
Package Scripts, but does not display a time estimate.

I can force a shutdown by holding down the power key, but a

no response to ticket #8901

David Strubbe — 2013-05-20T00:03:27

Hello,

There has been no response in 2 months from maintainer

Can the patch I submitted there please be reviewed and committed? These are
minor issues, but it doesn't look like the maintainer is active anymore.

PyPy buildbot times out

I have a patch to fix pypy Using The Right Compiler but noticed that the

Deprecated options (option_deprecate) in variants and other standardcode blocks

Ryan Schmidt — 2013-05-18T09:49:15

I'm hoping some other developers who have a good understanding of MacPorts base can help me. I'm trying to understand some strange behavior of the "option_deprecate" procedure which I think is a bug.


First, some background for those who may not be as familiar with MacPorts base. An "option" in MacPorts—such as "depends_lib" or "configure.args"—is a variable that can be set or overwritten without using the "set" command, that can behave as a list, that can have items appended or deleted or replaced using the special -append, -delete or -replace modifiers, and that supports lazy/late evaluation. And options can have variable traces attached to them using "option_proc" so that a particular procedure runs whenever an option is accessed or changed or deleted.

Options are also automatically global within standard portfile code blocks, like "build {}" or "pre-destroot {}" or "variant {}", meaning that you can just use any option without having to first indicate that it's a global variable. This magic occurs

python27: Different python27 binaries

Peter Brommer — 2013-05-14T13:02:56

Hi,

I am trying to create a new Portfile (attached) for a python script (namely https://sourceforge.net/projects/cif2cell/ ). In principle, everything goes well, not much to do, it's just that the script does not work as intended. If however, I run the cif2cell file included in the tar.gz-Archive, everything works fine. The only difference I could find between the cif2cell script included in the tar.gz and the one generated by the python setup.py sequence run by the mac ports build command is in the very first line. The original script reads

#!/usr/bin/env python

while the newly generated one reads

#!/opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/Resources/Python.app/Contents/MacOS/Python

On my system /usr/bin/env python evaluates (via multiple soft links) to /opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/bin/python2.7 both this file and the other file are binaries created by the mac port python27. I can see the binaries are different.

I now have two questions:

Revbumps for virtuoso and octave-devel needed

Certificate Authorities: curl-ca-bundle, certsync, keychain

Landon Fuller — 2013-05-14T01:39:56

Howdy,

Over the weekend I whipped up (and added a port for) 'certsync'; it's a small tool that fetches all trusted certificates from the Mac OS X system keychain, and then spits them out as OpenSSL-readable pem-encode certificate bundle.

The goal was to provide a replacement for curl-ca-bundle with the following benefits:
- Uses the CAs Apple provides -- that way MacPorts doesn't have to be in the business of distributing CA certificates.
- Also includes any custom CAs that the user has added. This is the case for many people who use internal CAs to sign certificates for their corporate (or personal) services.
- Automatically updates (if the launchd item is loaded) when the System Keychain(s) or trust settings are modified. 

There are a few gotchas that I could use input on, however:
- curl-ca-bundle currently lays claim to ${prefix}/etc/openssl/cacerts.pem. This conflicts with certsync, and there's no way to have both installed at the same time.
- A small number of ports directly depend on curl-ca-b

Different deps shown on console and web

I noticed that 

http://www.macports.org/ports.php?by=name&substr=abtransfers 

shows qt4-x11 as dependency, although the Portfile has qt4-mac defined and "port info abtransfers" also shows qt4-mac, as expected:

$ port deps abtransfers 
Full Name: abtransfers < at >0.0.4.0_0
Build Dependencies:   pkgconfig

netcdf-fortran +universal

David Strubbe — 2013-05-12T16:59:50

Hi,

Can anyone advise on how to make a port using netcdf-fortran +universal,
specifically how to resolve the paths where the Fortran mod files get
installed? This might involve use of the 'muniversal' portgroup.

See the discussion at https://trac.macports.org/ticket/38995

Gtk based applications not working right

Vishwajit Kolathur — 2013-05-07T16:31:24

Hey,

I'm new to macports, i've been using it for a month or so, i've been having
trouble with a lot of applications that use Gtk. Once i install them, they
seem to start start normally on the X11 terminal, but are incapable of
showing any text. I faced this problem after installing two applications,
Wireshark and Gedit.
Both of them give almost the same error messages.
I tried searching for existing complaints & solutions, looks like i
couldn't phrase my search well enough to find anything.

buildports-mtln hung build?

Handle configure.pkg_config_path as a list

Ryan Schmidt — 2013-05-04T04:07:18

MacPorts base sets PKG_CONFIG_PATH to ${configure.pkg_config_path}.

But should we allow configure.pkg_config_path to be a Tcl list, and join the elements with a ":" before assigning it to PKG_CONFIG_PATH?

I don't see any ports currently needing to set it to more than a single path, but if any did need that, this would make it much easier for them.

questions on "test" phase and variant dependency

David Strubbe — 2013-05-03T03:53:14

Hi all,

I have two questions about Portfile development.

I saw in the guide that there is a "test" phase that can be defined with
test.run, test.cmd, test.target. But the information there is quite
minimal. How is this intended to be used? It seems to me that it does not
run when a port is being installed, only if you do 'port test', and that it
does an independent build, not using one that may have been installed
already, which I find somewhat surprising. How is the result of the test
supposed to be reported after the run?

I am trying to make a port that depends on netcdf-fortran. The Fortran mod
files installed by netcdf-fortran (as always) are dependent on compiler and
even compiler version, so it is necessary for my port and netcdf-fortran to
both use the same compiler version, e.g. gcc46. How can this be requested
or checked in the Portfile? If they do not match, the configure step will
fail in a not particularly informative manner.

Thanks,
David
