  • Regarding master_sites, you probably want "gnome:sources/${name}/${branch}/"
  • Is the gettext library really not used?
  • The glib2 dependency should be written so that glib2-devel could satisfy it; see any other port that depends on glib2 for an example.
  • There should be more than one checksum listed.

Replying to ryandesign@…:

  • Regarding master_sites, you probably want "gnome:sources/${name}/${branch}/"

OK, that works (once I add the branch variable in the first place, that is), thanks. Changed.

  • Is the gettext library really not used?

I had originally only included gettext as a build dependency because I had used gettextize at one point, but after checking "port -q contents gcab | xargs file | grep Mach-O | cut -d\: -f1 | cut -d\ -f1 | uniq | xargs otool -L | grep version | grep /opt/local | cut -d\ -f1 | xargs port -q provides | cut -d\: -f2 | sort | uniq ", it turns out it is actually a library dependency, along with libffi and libiconv, so I moved gettext to the library dependencies, and added libffi and libiconv to the library dependencies, as well.

  • The glib2 dependency should be written so that glib2-devel could satisfy it; see any other port that depends on glib2 for an example.

Fixed.

  • There should be more than one checksum listed.

I had originally only included the sha256 one because it had come pre-calculated in a file named "gcab-0.4.sha256sum"; I've calculated the rest of them now and added them to the portfile now, too, though.

Version: 2.1.3

The md5 and "sha" checksums are not necessary and obsolete. Just use rmd160 and sha256 as per the guidelines.

OK, feel free to remove those when committing this.
