New port: cuneiform

[macports@…]

I made a Portfile for the OCR program cuneiform. Please check if everything is alright with it.

Thanks, I committed it in r67158 with these changes:

• adjusted whitespace / formatting
• fixed typo in categories (there should not be a comma between them)
• used cmake portgroup​ -- this gets you a universal variant for free and simplifies the portfile
• used branch variable in master_sites so you don't have to update it everytime there's a new branch

Fixed livecheck in r67159.

Was there a reason why you chose version 0.8.0 when version 0.9.0 has been out since February? Or should we update the port?

Replying to ryandesign@…:

Yes, that's intended: An important application of cuneiform is to work together with hocr2pdf in order to make "sandwich" pdfs. Cuneiform 0.9.0 has a bug due to which it is not working with hocr2pdf (see bug tracker of cuneiform). I suggest to wait until they fix this before makeing the 0.9.0 port.

By the way, did you compile cuneiform on MacOS 10.6? I'm working with 10.5. Everything compiles fine here. But some people reported that they were unable to compile cuneiform under 10.6. They did not use my Portfile though.

Ok, thanks for letting me know. Yes, it installed fine on Snow Leopard.
