'The addition of Skrooge has been requested by an end user running Skrooge in a virtual machine.

Proposal for a Portfile (sorry, I am not an expect)

[stephane@…]

Cc Me!

[jmroot (Joshua Root)]

You don't need to be in cc when you are the reporter. Have Marko and Brad agreed to maintain this? The name of the port alone is not an adequate description.

[stephane@…]

Hi,

Tank you for your answer. I don't know if Marko and Brad are supporting this request. I just tried to follow the process to do request described here: ​http://guide.macports.org/#project.contributing.new Sorry, if I did an error.

Hi Stephane,

it looks like you have used a Portfile of ours as a template for your Portfile. :-) Me and Brad appear as maintainers, which is probably not intended by you... and should be mended.

(But I am willing to give this port a try.)

Greets, Marko

[mkae (Marko Käning)]

I'm wondering whether you actually tried to install the port... Here on my end it doesn't even download the tar.bz2. :-( ​http://skrooge.org/files always returns 404!

Stephane: Looks like you are one of the developers of Skrooge. There is a file download issue with your site. Try using curl to download your file and you get a "page not found" error page. I'm guessing your Drupal site is testing the User Agent probably with Javascript to start the download.

$ curl http://skrooge.org/files/skrooge-0.8.0.tar.bz2

Are the Skrooge sources available anywhere else?

Hi,

You are right, I used an existing Portfile as template.

I don't understand why curl doesn't work. I will analyze. I will take you informed.

Source is available in KDE's svn too. (​http://websvn.kde.org/trunk/extragear/office/skrooge)

Thank you for your help.

[pixilla (Bradley Giesbrecht)]

Stephane: Is there an svn revision associated with your 0.8.0 release?

I can set up your Portfile to use svn but we should lock it to a revision. I suggest we name the port skrooge-devel and when you have your non-gui-brower downloads of your release version working we can create a new skrooge port and keep the skrooge-devel version using svn.

[stephane@…]

Hi Brad,

The svn version of Skrooge 0.8.0 is 1204256. I like your proposal.

I am still analyzing the curl issue...

Thank you again.

Hi Brad,

you could be re-using kmymoney4-devel's portfile. That has everything in place for SVN already.

Have fun!

Greets, Marko

I couldn't resist to adapt the portfile for skrooge-devel being build from the svn version. (When running it, however, I see only one window with almost no content, no active button, no functionality. So, I guess there is still some research necessary as to what's going on here. BTW, I left kde4-runtime out of the dependencies, since I didn't need it for kmymoney4(-devel) either.)

[mkae (Marko Käning)]

Here's the window appearing on my screen when starting skrooge using "/opt/local/Applications/KDE4/skrooge.app/Contents/MacOS/skrooge"

[mkae (Marko Käning)]

Just for the sake of completeness: I did install skrooge with kde4-runtime installed and without it!

But it didn't make a difference, both installations show the same dysfunctional window.

(BTW, actually the window looked a bit different at the first start. There was a little window inside which I erroneously dragged out of the main window. I can't remember whether I closed it, but after that it never appeared again.)

Cool to have you, Stephane, as the project's maintainer on board, so I guess it will be much easier to diagnose what's going on here''
