Hi Ryan:
Thanks for all the improvements to the port. For my education, I've
seen the message quite a few times saying: "* rewrote master_sites to
avoid HTTP redirects". I see you used
'master_sites
sourceforge:project/mediainfo/binary/mediainfo/${version}'
How does one determine this?
One easy way is to run:
curl -IL URL
which will show you if and where the existing URL is redirected.
OK, I think I've got it. I started with someone else's portfile
in this case where the 'master_sites sourceforge' produced a
working download. Homepage is at http://mediainfo.sourceforge.net.
The first time I ran 'port fetch', the log showed:
DEBUG: Executing org.macports.fetch (mediainfo)
---> MediaInfo_CLI_0.7.60_GNU_FromSource.tar.bz2 doesn't seem to
exist in /opt/local/var/macports/distfiles/mediainfo
---> Attempting to fetch
MediaInfo_CLI_0.7.60_GNU_FromSource.tar.bz2 from
http://iweb.dl.sourceforge.net/mediainfo
Now, running 'curl -IL
http://iweb.dl.sourceforge.net/mediainfo/MediaInfo_CLI_0.7.60_GNU_FromSource.tar.bz2'
produced a bunch of output that included:
Location:
http://voxel.dl.sourceforge.net/project/mediainfo/binary/mediainfo/0.7.60/MediaInfo_CLI_0.7.60_GNU_FromSource.tar.bz2
So the idea is to extract the bit:
'project/mediainfo/binary/mediainfo/0.7.60' (and replace "0.7.60"
with ${version}).
Is that right? Would a How-to with examples like this be a good
thing for the wiki?
That's it. Sure, a wiki tutorial would be good, or a script. I had a
script I was using to do these fixups for me, but it broke recently
and probably needs some adjustment. Let me see if I can fix it up
and put it in my scripts directory.
