Unfortunately CHANGELOG.md and CONTRIBUTING.md don't come with the tarball, so they are not included.

Any reason to not use the python version? It appears to be updated more recently.

[1-61803]

At first I thought all clients were more or less the same without checking them thoroughly.

The most recent and configurable is the node client actually, but I haven't made ports with node yet.

tldr-cpp-client has autocompletion

tldr-python-client is more configurable (cache, colors), but no autocomplete — I guess I could use it from the c client

tldr-node-client has it all with a little more elbow grease (no bash completion though)

Thing is, I gave the python client a shot but failed with

Most other sources (such as GitHub's tarballs, a git checkout without the .git folder) don't contain the necessary
metadata and will not work.

Let me know if you can take a look at it (portfile and main.log attached), otherwise I'll post it to the list, and if found a solution, I'll submit it separately.

@kurthindenburg, is there a problem committing this one in the meantime?

[kurthindenburg (Kurt Hindenburg)]

In a79493e5/macports-ports:

tldr-cpp-client: new port

closes #53753

[kurthindenburg (Kurt Hindenburg)]

If you want to add another ticket for the python version, go ahead - although perhaps this one is enough.

[1-61803]

ok, any ideas about the log I attached for the python client?

[1-61803]

While cutting leaves I realised it doesn't only depend during the build phase on these

depends_lib-append  port:curl \
                    port:libzip

Do you need a separate ticket?

Also, please add

See #53788.

You are correct

Ok, then please post back when you commit both changes above so that I can delete my local port.
