Great!

For testing, you can run the various port phases separately. Running 'sudo port -v build' would only complete the build phase and you can examine the results in the work/ directory, which is available via the work symlink next to the Portfile, or with 'port work'. You can also run 'sudo port destroot' and examine the files that would be installed at work/destroot/. > (2) > > To prevent clashes with the current macports installation, I think it is best > to create a second one. > > Guide 2.2.4 Install Multiple MacPorts Copies ( > https://guide.macports.org/#installing.macports.source.multiple ) talks about > that.

This is usually not required for port development, unless you do not want to uninstall the existing munin port. > (3) > > If I succeed in making this port, how should I do it? > - create new port munin2 with no relation to munin @1.4.7 > - make this an upgrade for the current version. I see no reason to keep 1.x around. On a quick check, most other distributions are also only providing 2.x. Rainer
