avocadodb @0.1.2 submission ticket

[w.helisch@…]

Our mission: projects are different, project requirements change. We want to offer with AvocadoDB a most universally applicable nosql database which can be used in a maximum number of different use cases. In buzzword bingo language: we want to become the MySql in nosql – without MySql’s annoyances of course. (See the WWW page for details.)

• The license field should read "Apache-2.0".
• Regarding the support_archs line: are you certain this software is not compatible with PowerPC processors?
• Since I see you are hosted at github and fetching from there, you should use the github portgroup, and you should fetch from github's autocreated distfile instead of fetching via git; the github portgroup will do this for you by default.
• build.target all is the default; you don't need to specify it.
• You should use add_users outside of any phase, instead of addgroup and adduser inside the post-destroot block.
• There is a tag for version 0.2.0; should we not be using that instead of 0.1.2?

Thank you for your hints. I changed the portfile according to your remarks, and I also tested the current version of the AvocdaoDB software so that we can directly switch to version 0.2.0. Regarding the support_archs line: we are indeed not sure that our software works on PowerPC processors; and we had no time to test this yet, so we would like to keep the restrictions indicated by the support_archs line.
