I have triple tested it all in all iterations and its as smooth as now-
no issues whatsoever. So what happens now? How does it get into the
ports tree now? Can someone have a look see and test it before I submit
this thing?
Run 'portlint -C' and fix anything it flags up -- well, within reason.
Sometimes portlint complains about things it shouldn't.
Then submit your port. For a new port, you need to create a .shar of
the port directory, which you can attach to the PR like so:
send-pr -a newport.shar
When filling in the PR in the editor it pops you into, you need to set
the appropriate field in the PR to 'change-request'. No need to fill in
all the sections -- for ports PRs it's mostly 'Description' that gets
filled in. Everything else is pretty obvious I think.
The comitter who works on the port will run it through tinderbox testing
and get back to you if there are any problems.
I would have preferred to know about the -C option earlier- I hadn't
realised how helpful it was. I used -Cv in the end which gave me a better
overview.
I do have a "WARN: no CVS directories. Use -N to check a new port." Is this
normal? Is this simply expected of a new uncommitted port? I assume this is
the case due to -N mentioned in the warning, I also ran it with -CvN and it
came back with "looks fine".
I'll upload a new .shar to my URI now.
Hm, for a new port, you should use portlint -A; portlint -C is for
existing ports.
portlint -A searches for stupid things like a work/ directory still
existing too.
portlint -A: looks fine.
I'll put it in later today, I think.
