Hi Tim,
There's two port files, rb-dbd-pg and db-dbd-mysql that currently
just extend rb-dbi with a few configure args. They should probably
use variants, but I digress. I've created another Portfile, in the
spirit of these two, so you can install ruby-dbi with odbc support
via macports, just like you can with mysql or postgres. It's a dead-
simple Portfile.
How can I get this added to the ports tree?
The most transparent way is to submit a ticket for the new port in
the requested format [1]; don't forget to enter the addresses in the
Cc field as described. A committer will then check it and commit it
if they're happy with it. As for rb-dbd-pg and rb-dbd-mysql, it'd be
great if you could file a ticket about those too so that the
maintainer(s) know about your suggestion.
(feel free to point me to an FAQ... the macports site+docos are
excruciating, have spent ages looking already)
There has been some discussion recently on macports-dev@ about our
documentation, but unfortunately none of us has gotten around to
doing some organised planning and work on it. It'll be one of my
priorities when I get enough free time.
Thanks the new port!
Kind regards,
Maun Suang
