New port: tintin++

[nefar@…]

TinTin++, aka TT++, is a free Mud client for Windows, Linux, and Mac OS X. A Windows / Vista port named WinTin++, using the PuTTY terminal, is available for those who do not use Cygwin (A Linux/Unix emulator for Windows). Besides MUDs (which are free online text games), TinTin++ can also be used as a client to play MUSH, MUCK, MOO, MU*, or Rogue games, which are online text game variants. Connecting to a Linux server or a telnet BBS is possible as well.

Am I expected to do something here?

The name of the program is tintin++ not sure what else I should call it. If you want to call it something else, go ahead. Isn't it just as easy for you to modify the Portfile to make that fix?

[blb@…]

Should be named tintinxx per the naming convention, which is currently undocumented (see ticket #20053).

ok, and it's easier for me to edit the Portfile at this point than the person comitting it?

You are the proposed maintainer, you are responsible to submit a proper portfile. FYI, you should also obfuscate your email address. The more work you do, the more likely this port will get committed.

[nefar@…]

with email obfuscated.

Added in r60858, thanks (fixed maintainer since the no-domain version is for @macports.org, otherwise you use the domain:user style as seen ​in the guide).
