Description

this is one of my first cuts at creating a port file for macports. this is a pretty basic, self-contained package and builds/installs cleanly for me on OS X 10.6.2 and macports 1.8.1.

Works for me; maybe the server was down or there is a connectivity issue between it and you.

works for me, too, though http://hea-www.harvard.edu/saord/download/xpa/ doesn't provide an index. and i did have some issues connecting there earlier today, though it wasn't clear if the problem was on their end or mine.

Thanks, I committed your port in r61812 with these changes:

  • Removed "revision 1" line; the first revision of any version of a port is zero not one.
  • Removed duplicate "platforms darwin" line.
  • Reduced the Makefile.in patch down to just correcting the manpage installation directory. As for changing INSTALL_ROOT to DESTROOT, it's simpler for us to just tell the portfile to use the INSTALL_ROOT variable. If you would like to send your patch upstream to request that they change INSTALL_ROOT to DESTROOT, feel free. You should also report a bug to them about supporting the --mandir configure argument their configure script claims to support.

Then I made these smaller changes:

  • r61814: Added the documentation files.
  • r61815: Added license info.
  • r61818: Fixed livecheck.
