#38720 new request

Add a port for bup (https://github.com/bup/bup)

Description (last modified by mf2k (Frank Schima))

Hello,

maybe it would be nice to have a port for bup (https://github.com/bup/bup), which should be installable on OSX with macports as soon as the missing ports for python-pyxattr (see #38253) and python-pylibacl (#38719) are created.

Would someone create a port? Or is there an easy guideline for bloody beginners, so I could create one?

Thanks, Johannes

There is http://guide.macports.org/chunked/development.html

Since this is on github, perhaps using the github portgroup would help. It is not documented in the guide however; look for other ports using it as an example, and/or read the source code of the portgroup file itself.

Since this is written in Python, should it be treated as a Python package for MacPorts? Or should it be treated differently because it doesn't look like it uses distutils?

No, definitely not. The py-* ports are meant for python modules. There are a number of ports that are written in python with "normal" names.

Could I have an example to look at?

Also on a slightly different note, there's a Homebrew formula for bup that we could use as reference when making this portfile:

https://github.com/mxcl/homebrew/commits/master/Library/Formula/bup.rb

Although it's missing a bunch of dependencies that we'd probably want to add in the MacPorts version...

I started creating ports for the dependencies, but as I got stuck there I thought I'd get this one started.

Where to start? Which portfile could serve as a template? Whats this github portgroup? How to use it?

Thanks, Johannes

Whats this github portgroup?

browser:trunk/dports/_resources/port1.0/group/github-1.0.tcl

How to use it?

in this case, put this at the top of your portfile, after the PortSystem 1.0 line:

PortGroup              github 1.0

github.setup           bup bup 0.25-rc1 bup-

github.setup           bup bup 0.25-rc1 bup-

Actually:

github.setup           bup bup 0.29.1
