blitz-devel @0.10 Request for new portfile inclusion

[andre.dos.anjos@…]

I have written and tested a portfile that will install the latest version of blitz++ (from its mercurial repository) available. Blitz++ is a great library, but the current existing version, for which there exists a portfile (math/blitz), is very old and does not compile with more recent versions of gcc. This would allow developers to continue using blitz and upgrade their compile support, w/o touching people that would like to stick with the official version of blitz++.

Would it be possible to have it included in the distribution?

Some comments:

• The xcodeversion portgroup should be removed as you do not appear to be using it.
• The maintainers line should be your complete obfuscated email address only.
• The revision should be 0; the string 20110809 should perhaps be incorporated into the version line (if this is indeed not version 0.10 but a development release leading up to version 0.10).
• The livecheck should be enabled so that it works.
• The master_sites line should be written so that no http redirects occur during fetch; see several recently-modified sourceforge ports for examples.

Thanks! A second try has been uploaded (replacing the old attachment).

A little bit more of work on this:

• The attached tar.gz file contains now the Portfile + a patch that allows blitz++ to compile and be used with gcc4.2
• Added another variant that allows installation with documentation
• Optimization enabled + multi-threading support

Meanwhile, the patches have been incorporated to the Blitz++ mercurial repository. I have updated the "Portfile" attachment to contain the version of the package w/o any patches and with an updated hg tag.

Tarball with Portfile + Patch for gcc4.2 compatibility

This is now 8 months old. It has not been included on 2.0.1, 2, 3 or 4. Could we consider it for the next one?

If a ticket seems to have been forgotten, feel free to email the macports-dev list. A comment on a ticket with nobody in the Owner or Cc fields will most likely not be seen by anyone.
