There is a problem with the documentation directory; it has been created without execute permission (needs to be mode 755 not 644):

$ ls -l work/destroot/opt/local/share/doc/util-linux/
ls: rev.1: Permission denied

This loop is not correct:

    foreach file {README NEWS ChangeLog COPYING AUTHORS ABOUT-NLS} {
      xinstall -m 644 ${worksrcpath}/${path}.1 ${destroot}${prefix}/share/doc/${name}
    }

You loop for the variable file but then do not use the variable file in the loop. You don't need a loop either; you can use xinstall -W:

    xinstall -m 644 -W ${worksrcpath} README NEWS ChangeLog COPYING AUTHORS ABOUT-NLS ${destroot}${prefix}/share/doc/${name}

For the conflict with getopt, either change the name of the installed file so that it does not conflict, or else declare that the ports do conflict by writing conflicts getopt in this port, and conflicts util-linux in the getopt port.

Thanks for pointing out the problems for the portfile. I have tried to correct all the problems pointed out by ryandesign. However, I do not know how to create universal-compatible portfile. Since I am very new to macport - only 2 days of experience, I do not know where to find the documentation for creating universal-compatible portfile.

The problem is that one of your dependencies, binutils, cannot be installed +universal. You can:

  1. Remove the dependency on binutils. Not having looked at the software you're installing, I don't know whether this is a viable option.
  2. Set universal_variant no in your Portfile. It's not the end of the world if the port can't be installed +universal.

Resolution: fixed
Status: newclosed

Thanks for the changes. Committed in r101422 with these further changes:

  • updated to 2.22.2
  • used smaller xz distfile
  • more specific license (GPL-2+ instead of GPL)
  • gettext and ncurses are library dependencies not just build dependencies
  • diffutils, binutils and zlib don't appear to be used at all (the port built fine when they were deactivated) so I removed them from the build dependencies; removing binutils means the port can now build universal
  • disabled silent build rules to get more verbose information in the build log
  • removed duplicate configure args and sorted remaining args alphabetically
  • fixed permissions of documentation directory (755 not 644)
  • reformatted slightly, including changing a few remaining tabs to spaces
