How to rename a port

Hi,

I searched on the FAQ, WiKi, tickets and portguide but couldn't find how 
to change the name of a port already existing in the macports.org 
repository.

Is this possible ? If yes what are the steps required to do it ?

Francois.

Xymon update to v4.3.7 #33173 - commit needed

Hi,

Can someone please check ticket #33173 and commit the 2 updated Portfile 
patchs ?

Thanks,
Francois.

Re: VirtualBox and the missing ConsoleMessage command on Snow Leopard

> With the prefix 'macports-test' is this a secondary macports install?
Hey yes, that's true, of course.

>  If so you probably set 'startupitem_type none' in macports.conf to avoid conflicting with your main
macports install, which means the startup item plist won't be installed into /Library (or anywhere
else), which would explain what you're seeing…
Yep, that's the reason.

Thanks for clarifying this! 

About Google Summer of Code 2012

Hello MacPorts developers,

today, Google has announced Summer of Code 2012! I think most of you
will already have heard of it. Google pays students to work on various
Open Source projects over the summer. It is also a good start for
students with Open Source development. MacPorts is taking part in this
program every year since 2007.

http://google-opensource.blogspot.com/2012/02/google-summer-of-code-2012-is-on.html

I have been the organization administrator for The MacPorts Project in
the last years, but unfortunately I will not have enough time to do this
again this year as I am supposed to write my thesis.

I will definitely be around to help with selection of students or answer
any questions regarding the program. However, I can't promise a fixed
amount of time per week and thus, I hope someone else will step up to
fill this position. After all, there is still some time left for the
organization application deadline.

I just want to list the duties and responsibilities of the organization
administrator to describe this position in more detail:

 * Submit the organization application to Google
    The version from last year can be found at:
    -> http://trac.macports.org/wiki/SummerOfCodeOrgApplication

 * Acquire mentors (could be for specific topics, e.g. GUI)
    Look through the list of mentors of the past years and ask them if
    they would be wiling to participate again. Also consider asking
    the students from last years as they are familiar with the program.
    -> http://trac.macports.org/wiki/SummerOfCodeArchive
    Responsibilites of a mentor:
    -> http://trac.macports.org/wiki/SummerOfCodeMentorGuidelines

 * Distribute students interested in MacPorts to the right mentors
    Students are supposed to report in on the mailing list or on IRC
    and discuss their project before submitting the final application
    to us. The organization administrator should keep an overview over
    these students and be the point of contact for them. Point them to
    the mentors for specific topics.

 * Review students' applications
    After the deadline, we have to request a slot count from Google.
    This determines how many students can work for us. This number
    depends on the number of mentors and the number of good
    applications.
    How such an application should look like:
    -> http://trac.macports.org/wiki/SummerOfCodeApplicationTemplate
    What we expect from students:
    -> http://trac.macports.org/wiki/SummerOfCodeGuidelines

 * Be the point of contact during the summer
    If anything important happens during this summer, Google will hold
    the organization administrator responsible for all communications.

 * Mid-term and Final evaluations
    Make sure all mentors and all students fill out the evaluations.
    Discuss with all mentors if any student should not pass the
    mid-term or final evaluation, for example they did not work enough
    on the assigned project.

Well, this might look like a long list now, but the main work is to be
done in March/April for the review of students' applications.

Tcl versions with threads enabled

Dear all,

three weeks ago, i asked on macports-users how to proceed in 
cases where ports depending on Tcl with thread support 
should be realized. From my distant view, there are three 
options:

a) port variants (no good idea, since we can't have 
dependencies on these)
b) making tcl threaded by default (my personal favorite, 
other tcl unix distros went this way)
c) subports (not sure, if this is worth the potential 
confusion, when there are two version of the
    same software release around, probably, one has to 
mangle names for the dylibs on macports)

Other usages of subports i have seen are for version number 
management. Currently there is just a "tcl" port, no tcl8.4, 
tcl8.5 or tcl 8.6 port. For this purpose, subports appear 
(to my limited knowlege) the way to go. Btw: Some of the 
ports depending on tcl fail currently due to the fact that 
they depend on tcl 8.4, but the "tcl" port is actually 8.5.

Is there any decision making process on the way? Anything i 
can do?

Is there anything i can do to accelerate the three tickets 
below?
(all have a patch or Portfile attached, these are easy to test)

https://trac.macports.org/ticket/32858
https://trac.macports.org/ticket/32859
https://trac.macports.org/ticket/32899

There is a duplicate port for py25-apptools.

Why and how is that, Jeremy?

Is buildbot a Snow Leopard of a Lion???

Is buildbot a Snow Leopard of a Lion???

I am asking this since the buildbot behaves differently than my MacOSX 10.6.8 here locally…

supported_platforms platform_0 (like noarch)

We could fetch platform indifferent ports from packages.macports.org from _ANY_ OS.

name                             foo
version                          1.2.3
supported_archs         noarch
supported_platforms	platform_0

Example package archive:
foo-1.2.3_0.platform_0.noarch.tbz2
