I would propose that we rename the port as well, to avoid any confusion in future.

I presume that the py-gnureadline Portfile is not very different from the py-readline one. If you do this, please use svn copy to create the py-gnureadline directory and maintain history.

Jop, already done. The copy I attached builds correctly, but I'd like to look at the purpose of the old patches. Unfortunately, I am not a user of this port, so I am not sure how to test.

This is actually rather more serious than I originally thought. The problem is that the upstream ports bundle into them a source file from the Python source distribution and the original, un-updated upstream version is now way out of date for all Python versions. Taking a quick look at the existing MacPorts patches, the universal build stuff has changed a bit in the new version and I think it can still be safely removed; likewise for the 10.9.5 / Xcode 5 workaround which only applies to the Apple-supplied Pythons. The patches for readline_path.py and readline.pth and the extra_path patch to setup.py are still needed, I think: they simulate what a setuptools install would do to alter sys.path. ticket:45301#comment:9 has some details on what you should expect to see if pyxx-readline is properly installed. If you like, I would be willing to smoke test the port if you can make the updates available.

Yes, this is still pending. I try to have a look at this again. If you have appropriate patches, just attach them here.

A py-gnureadline port seems to have been committed in r139351. Therefore I reassign to the maintainer of the new port.

This seems to have happened independently of this ticket and does not derive from py-readline and does not replace it.

So the doubt is:

  • can py-readline be replaced_by py-gnureadline now?
  • is the patching seen in the older py-readline port still relevant?

I have found only one dependency on the older port: scapy.

Andrew, is there any reason why we cannot replace py-readline and its subports with py-gnureadline and its subports?

What is the situation with the patchfiles in py-readline—should they be incorporated into py-gnureadline or are they no longer relevant?
