Is there a beginners guide to making a commit for a single portfile?
That's what the macports guide is for, mostly. It's quite a few things
you have to watch for. Most important is an understand of installing
software manually and remodel that in a mostly declarative fashion in Tcl.
And than lots of diligence to make sure things really work and keep
working. But once you have seen a couple of Portfiles you also see
lots of recurring patterns.
Yes, I've read the guide. I'm referring to the "making a commit" bit. The
guide covers fetching the files, and how to make portfiles, but not how to
submit the changes. I guess it's obvious to someone who's familiar with
subversion, but I'm not.
As a Port prospective port maintainer, I've actually got some working
updates in a local source directory. I just don't know how to commit them.
Often, all that's required is an update of a version number and md5 hash. A
worked example in the guide would be really useful.
