cot 1.0.0

[glenn@…]

COT (the Common OVF Tool) is a tool for editing Open Virtualization Format (.ovf, .ova) virtual appliances, with a focus on virtualized network appliances such as the Cisco CSR 1000V and Cisco IOS XRv platforms.

Hi, is there anything I can do to help move this along?

Comment: Since you are using the python and github portgroups, you must use depends_lib-append instead of depends_lib to not override dependencies of those portgroups.

Updated. Thanks!

I'm not understanding the use of the python portgroup here - or it is being used incorrectly. Is this supposed to be a python module? The port comes out as "cot" and not "py27-cot" and "py33-cot". If it is, then the categories are incorrect. It should be:

categories-append          sysutils emulators

Because python should be first and is included with the python portgroup. Also the following line should be added beneath the github.setup line:

name                py-cot

Also the line python.default_version 27 can be deleted since that is the default.

Finally, the dependencies must be placed inside of a if {${name} ne ${subport}} { block.

This is primarily an application - although it consists of a set of modules which could conceivably be integrated into other applications as well. So I think "cot" is correct, based on my reading of the docs:

If the port name does not start with “py-”, it is interpreted as an application written in python rather than a python module. In this case, no subports are defined...

That said this is the first time I've used the python portgroup, so if my usage is incorrect, I apologize!

If it is, then the categories are incorrect. It should be:

categories-append          sysutils emulators

OK, will fix this.

Also the following line should be added beneath the github.setup line:

name                py-cot

As above - I don't think this is desirable.

Also the line python.default_version 27 can be deleted since that is the default.

Per the docs, this must be set for an application:

For apps (i.e. name does not start with “py-”), this chooses which version of python to use, and must be set. It can be changed in variants if desired.

Finally, the dependencies must be placed inside of a if {${name} ne ${subport}} { block.

Since this is an app, it doesn't have subports, right?

[mf2k (Frank Schima)]

It is fine to be named "cot" and not have py*- subports and only use python 2.7. But your usage of python.versions 27 33 is confusing since python 3.3 is not involved here. So the 33 needs to be removed.

[glenn@…]

My reasoning was that COT can be installed and run against either 2.7 or 3.3. Is there a better way to indicate this in the Portfile?

Thanks.

[mf2k (Frank Schima)]

Use a comment then.

[glenn@…]

Anything else needed?

[glenn@…]

now for cot 1.1.0

[glenn@…]

COT 1.1 has been released so updating this submission.

[glenn@…]

Anything else needed before this can be committed?

[mf2k (Frank Schima)]

Added in r123908 with the following changes:

• Changed categories-append to categories to remove python from the primary category.
• Added required build dependency on py-setuptools.
