new port 'math/apophenia'

[el.dirte@…]

Hi I would like to submit a new port: 'apophenia' - it should probably be filed under math or science.

This is a library for statistical computing. Attached is the Portfile.

Thanks

apophenia Portfile

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

Thanks. There are some issues:

• Variant names should not begin with "no". Instead of a noopenmp variant, have an openmp variant that does the opposite, and enable it by default with default_variants. Instead of a nomysql variant, ensure mysql support is disabled by default in the port, then add variants for all the available versions of mysql in MacPorts.
• You've written supported_archs x86_64 i386. What problems did you observe on ppc or ppc64?

Hi, thanks for looking at this new port.

re: supported_archs x86_64 i386

I don't have a ppc or ppc64 machine to test with. What do you suggest?

re: openmp

Okay I will try to reverse the behavior.

re: mysql

Alright then I will just remove the mysql variant, it's not worth the hassle. 99.99% of users will use sqlite anyway. The library will use mysql if it's there, but it's not required and ./configure happily skips over it if it's not installed.

Shall I just attach a new Portfile to this same ticket?

Thanks

Okay I've re-submitted the apophenia Portfile with both nomysql and noopenmp variants removed. It sounds like you'd prefer I not specify arch so I also removed the supported_archs line.

Thanks
