You can file a ticket in Trac, setting the Type field to Request. To resolve 
it, someone has to do the work of creating the Portfile. It could be you! If 
you do, you can send us a pull request on GitHub.


How to request new ports?

2024-02-05 Thread lars.sonchocky-helld...@hamburg.de
Hello List,

I have a question: How would I request a port of a software I need, e.g. what’s 
the right way to do this?


At work I am recently using:

https://github.com/yonaskolb/XcodeGen

to build iOS-Projects, there is a HomeBrew formula for installing this but it 
doesn’t seem to be in macports. I prefer macports for several reasons and don’t 
want to switch to HomeBrew.


Another software needed to build the bespoken projects is:

https://github.com/fastlane/fastlane

for which also a HomeBrew formula exists:

https://docs.fastlane.tools/getting-started/ios/setup/

 But it is not in macports too.


So my question: what do I have to do to get ports for those?


Kind regards,

Lars
