gmp update to 4.2.2

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

Vincent Lefevre ​observes that gmp 4.2.2 has been released but the port has no maintainer. He notes that gmp apparently ​has issues on Mac OS X, so we should upgrade carefully and test fully on both platforms.

I will try upgrading the port on an Intel Core 2 Duo machine. If that works, I'll attach the patch here and someone can try it on PowerPC.

Bug #12625 should also be observed during this update.

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

I'll skip #12625 for now since I'm awaiting additional information.

Attached is a patch to update gmp to 4.2.2. I ran "sudo port -dv test gmp" and it reported all tests passed on my MacBook Pro. Please try this on a PowerPC Mac and make sure all tests pass there too. If they do, I'll commit this update.

update to 4.2.2

The updated gmp per this patch reports passing all its tests on my dual G5 tower.

Incidentally, it looks to me like the dylibs being deleted in the destroot stage are the complement of those being deleted in the destroot stage of the gmp-cxx-wrappers port. I don't see any need for this, and it violates our standard port policy as well. I'd suggest eliminating gmp-cxx-wrappers and rolling it into the gmp port. Any comments?

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

Thanks for testing. I committed the patch in r30535.

Considerations about eliminating gmp-cxx-wrappers should be made in a new ticket.
