pdfposter 0.5.0 submission

[someuser12]

This is a submission for a port for pdfposter. This utility allows to print a large PDF document (e.g. A0) on multiple pages (e.g. A4) that can be assembled to make a poster, much like poster does, but with PDF instead of PostScript.

Does this actually need python25 or would a newer version like python27 work? If so we should use that.

Python 2.7 works indeed. I attached a Portfile that uses python27 but I'm not sure it's 100% correct. Especially, the installed command is /opt/local/bin/pdfposter-2.7 with an explicit -2.7 suffix and I don't know how to remove the suffix (the user probably expects the command to be run with `pdfposter' as under Linux).

Portfile that uses Python 2.7 instead of the original Python 2.5

Committed in r79918 with these changes:

• added $Id$ line and modeline
• adjusted portfile whitespace and formatting
• fixed maintainers line
• removed unnecessary distfiles line
• removed md5 checksum which we're working on removing from everywhere in MacPorts
• made variable for download id and put it right after version, which makes it hopefully more obvious to future contributors that it must be updated with the version
• added line "python.link_binaries_suffix" to avoid -2.7 suffix
• fixed typos in long description
• added line "supported_archs noarch" since this port does not appear install any architecture-specific files

Thank you very much.

I wonder if there isn't a typo in the commited Portfile: "noach" instead of "noarch".

Thanks for noticing that. Fixed in r80010.
