New port: po4a and missing depends

[odyx@…]

Hi,

in the course of the colobot [0] packaging for MacOS, I've come to need po4a [1]. I've therefore tried to create MacPorts' Portfile's for po4a and its missing dependencies:

• po4a
• p5-text-wrapi18n
• p5-unicode-gcstring

Portfiles are attached, please consider.

Cheers,

OdyX

p5-unicode-gcstring Portfile

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

Thanks. Some observations:

In the portfile for po4a:

• dependencies on p5-* stub ports are not legal; depend on the specific p5 subports you want; also depend on the specific perl you want, and ensure it gets used

In the portfiles for p5-text-wrapi18n and p5-unicode-gcstring:

• the standard modeline should be added and you should ensure the portfile's whitespace conforms to it

In all three portfiles:

• the revision line should be removed to allow the default value of 0 to be used
• md5 checksum types and using only a single checksum type are deprecated; please use at least rmd160 and sha256 checksums

Thanks for the comments, I think I fixed all reported issues. Thanks in advance for the further review.

Ping. Is there something more I need to fix for this to be integrated?

[odyx@…]

Ping again; how can I get this in?

looking at your latest po4a Portfile:

• Use Perl 5.16 since that is the default now.
• All checksums should be rmd160 and sha256. You can also have md5 if upstream publishes it.

Done.

• ​Portfile.8 => p5-text-wrapi18n
• ​Portfile.10 => p5-unicode-gcstring
• ​Portfile.11 => po4a

I had to force the perl version used for configure, build and destroot in po4a as module-build insisted to use perl5.12 for some reason.

[mf2k (Frank Schima)]

Added p5-text-wrapi18n in r117952 with the following changes:

• Added supported_archs noarch
• Added perl 5.18 version.

[mf2k (Frank Schima)]

p5-unicode-gcstring already exists as the p5-unicode-linebreak port.

po4a should not go in the perl category because that is for perl modules. I'm thinking textproc?

Fink puts it under "devel": ​http://pdb.finkproject.org/pdb/package.php/po4a
Of course their sections do not line up exactly with the categories in MacPorts, so "textproc" might actually be a better fit here in MacPorts, idk...

Cc Me!

[cooljeanius (Eric Gallager)]

Also, having a port for po4a committed as per this ticket could be helpful for the update for dpkg in ticket #39018, as then I could direct the dpkg port to use the po4a from this po4a port...

[cooljeanius (Eric Gallager)]

It would also be useful to have a port for po4a for the port for sensible-utils that I am working on... right now I have to skip the po4a parts in the sensible-utils source because the po4a port has not been committed yet...

[mf2k (Frank Schima)]

The po4a Portfile needs the correct license.

r120066. It fetches now. I also added the correct license.
