Hi, I've just thought it would be very convenient to have Portfile skelton generator in base MacPorts system.
The generator would works this way. Let's say I wanted to add a new port named foo. $ port skelton foo 1.0 > Portfile The content of Portfile would looks like # -*- coding: utf-8; mode: tcl; tab-width: 4; indent-tabs-mode: nil; c-basic-offset: 4 -*- vim:fenc=utf-8:filetype=tcl:et:sw=4:ts=4:sts=4 # $Id$ PortSystem 1.0 name foo version 1.0 #categories unknown #maintainers unknown #description unknown #long_description RRDtool is a system to store and display time-series data #homepage homepage #platforms darwin #master_sites # master_sites #checksums md5 \ # sha1 \ # rmd160 #depends_lib ...continued The generated Portfile contains many informative comments to help developers write a good Portfile. Generator itself would be very easy to implement once the skelton file itself was created. Any comments? _______________________________________________ macports-dev mailing list macports-dev@lists.macosforge.org http://lists.macosforge.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/macports-dev
