NEW: libmemcache

[JLM939@…]

Folks on IRC recommended that I submit my portfile for libmemcache for inclusion in DarwinPorts. This will allow the Lighttpd web server to support caching of dynamic content via the +cml variant. Anything than can be done to expedite the timely committing of this new port will be most greatly appreciated by those who await the release of the latest Lighttpd version.

Thanks! --Justin

1. there is no port named "memcached" your port is depending on
2. please attach Portfiles instead of inlining them - spares us a lot of work

Portfile for libmemcache

[JLM939@…]

In response to MWW's comment #1:

1. If there were no port named "memcached" then I doubt this portfile would have installed via DarwinPorts without error on my test system -- but it did. The needed memcached port was indeed found, downloaded, and installed. I suspect the reason for this is that there is indeed a port called "memcached" -- it's not clear to me why you suggest that there is no such port. See relevant link below:

​http://www.darwinports.org/darwinports/dports/sysutils/memcached/Portfile

2. In the future, I would be happy to attach portfiles instead of inlining them. (See attached portfile in Comment #2.) Of course, it would be easier to do this from the beginning if Bugzilla's initial entry screen made it clear that there will be a way of attaching files *after* the bug report has been filed.

thanks, commited (incl. some minor changes);

and of course I just garbled my search query when checking for memcached - sorry for that!

[JLM939@…]

No problem. Thank you for the changes; I'm still a DP newbie. Glad we'll be able to get the latest Lighttpd release out soon! :D
