RFE: build and install HTML docs for git-core, with patch

[yaseppochi (Stephen J. Turnbull)]

This "patch" creates a new variant "webdoc" which builds and installs the HTML docs (which include the tutorial and some howtos and readmes that I don't think are included in the manpage distribution) to ${prefix}/share/doc/git-core. It also renames the "doc" variant to "man" which I think is more descriptive.

I don't know if these decisions are appropriate for DarwinPorts, I offer this as proof-of-concept.

NOTE: this isn't a patch, it's a tarball of the Portfile and patches. I don't have the CVS installation on this box.

Also see bug #10425, which currently prevents installing the docs in any case (unless you hack up the asciidoc and xmlto ports, I'm working on a patch for asciidoc, but the xmlto issue contains a policy problem -- I fixed it by installing my XML catalog to /etc/xml/catalog (as expected by libxml2 from Apple).

The maintainer of git-core has dropped the port. If anyone wants to pick up maintainership they may do so.

There is no tarball attached. What should be done with this?

[kballard (Lily Ballard)]

If the maintainer of git-core has dropped the port, why is he still listed as the maintainer?

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

Mark Grimes and Bryan Larsen now maintain git-core.

Where is the patch?

Replying to ryandesign@…:

Where is the patch?

Dunno, thought I attached it at the time. That was two years ago, I'm not even sure that machine is still running and I have no idea if/where the tarball might exist. May as well close the ticket.

Closing since it appears these docs are installed with git-core:

/opt/local/share/doc/git-core/gittutorial-2.html
/opt/local/share/doc/git-core/gittutorial.html
/opt/local/share/doc/git-core/howto/
/opt/local/share/doc/git-core/howto-index.html
