Thanks for the ticket; I'll look into it.

The first problem I see is that the distfiles are unversioned. I'll see what I can do to minimize the problems that causes.

The instructions on the packages page mention that the files can be installed into an existing pari installation just by copying the files to a particular place. That would be vastly preferable; we should do that, as subports, instead of as variants. Or since they actually have their own separate versions and distfiles, having each package as its own completely separate portfile would be easiest.

I've attached a proposed portfile for pari-seadata. Does this work for you?

Replying to ryandesign@…:

I'm having trouble testing it due to the macports user not being able to open the Portfile despite 644 permissions on the Portfile. I cleared the extended attributes, so now sudo -u macports cat Porfile works, but macports still complains.

Where have you put the portfile on disk? MacPorts must be able to read it; that usually excludes anywhere inside your home directory as a viable location.

comment:6 in reply to:  5 Changed 10 years ago by wbl (Watson Ladd)

I put it in my home directory, following the Macports guide. Apparently that's wrong. Where should I put it to test?

comment:7 Changed 10 years ago by ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)

That part of the guide may not have been updated since the GSoC '08 privileges branch was merged into trunk.

Try anywhere else on disk. Inside /tmp/ for example. Or change the permissions of your home directory so all users can read it, if you're not concerned about other users accessing your files.

It works! Thanks for doing this.
