NEW: rsyncrypto 1.06

[macports@…]

rsyncrypto encrypts files in a way that shouldn't mess up rsync's change detection.

It was a pretty easy portfile, though I've only tested it on my own computer.

Thanks for contributing! There are some problems though:

$ sudo port lint
--->  Verifying Portfile for rsyncrypto
Warning: Line 4 should be a newline (after PortSystem)
Error: Missing required variable: homepage
Warning: Using full email address for no/open maintainer
--->  1 errors and 2 warnings found.
$

So please:

• add a newline after the PortSystem line
• add a line for the homepage, and
• list yourself as the maintainer (or put just "nomaintainer" if you do not want to maintain the port)

In addition:

• master_sites should not contain the archive name; just list the directory. In this case, you probably want "master_sites sourceforge" instead.
• You probably want to use "configure.cppflags-append" instead of "configure.env CPPFLAGS="
• Why are you fiddling with the compiler in the platform darwin 8 section? gcc4 is already the default compiler on Mac OS X 10.4 (and 10.5) so you shouldn't need to do this unless rsyncrypto is weird.

Can you please attach a revised portfile? Thanks.

Revised per recommendations

[macports@…]

I attempted to incorporate the recommendations. I started with an existing portfile, which may have required a less conventional configuration.

Not quite sure what I'm getting myself into with maintenance, but I'll give it go.

Hi, going through unclosed port submissions in trac and this one looks good now with one exception:

checking for gzip with "rsyncable" support... gzip: unrecognized option `--rsync
able'
Try `gzip --help' for more information.
no!
configure: WARNING: !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
configure: WARNING: ! gzip must support the "--rsyncable" flag for proper rsyncrypto operation.         !
configure: WARNING: ! This does not affect compilation, but a proper gzip must be available at runtime. !
configure: WARNING: !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

From the README:

Rsyncrypto requires gzip that supports the "rsyncable" flag. The gzip rsyncable
flag is a patch written by Rusty Russell. This patch is available in the
"contrib" directory, and nees to be applied against the *gzip* sources.

So it looks like either the build of rsyncrypto needs to fetch/build/install a gzip-rsyncable binary or add a +rsyncable variant to archivers/gzip which fetches the rsyncrypto port to grab and apply the patch in contrib.

I'm attaching an updated portfile which bumps it to the current 1.06 version

update of Portfile for version 1.06

[macports@…]

Replying to ecronin@…:

configure: WARNING: ! gzip must support the "--rsyncable" flag for proper rsyncrypto operation. !

The gzip port supports variant +rsyncable with r39748. I've freshened rsyncrypto to 1.12 and updated the description to mention the required variant.

[macports@…]

rsyncrypto 1.12

[blb@…]

Port added in r41561, thanks. Note I did make one change, obfuscating your email with the a@… -> b.c:a technique (port info knows how to de-obfuscate this).
