py25-libdnet trying to get py-libdnet to work with Python 2.5

[msavory@…]

Attempted to modify the port file see attached

But build fails...

What am I doing wrong?

wanting to get scapy2 into macports see scapy port

First cut at portfile

The error

unable to execute -DNDEBUG: No such file or directory

is the Tcl environment bug, as documented in ticket #13930. Try cleaning py25-libdnet then building it again.

[msavory@…]

Hi, I have cleaned and built it 5 times with no success, I think it has something to do with the original port not using portgroup like the py-pylibpcap that I have got to work, I just don't understand the python portgroup stuff enough to know how to fix this. I assume its me not setting the ENV correctly, not the TCL bug.. or that how this port is configured it somehow hits the TCL bug everytime... M

[blb@…]

Interesting, looks like this is one of the Tcl env bug's edge cases which hasn't been fixed yet. When it fails for you, immediately just try sudo port install py25-libdnet again.

For me, running trunk MacPorts, it also fails the first try, but the second run works just fine. Could be like the one mentioned in #14876.

Repeated attempts to install without cleaning give...

The second run made it through destroot without issue, but you already have py25-libdnet installed so the new install didn't work. Of course, the big issue is what's causing the need to rerun in the first place.

[msavory@…]

OK more clarity here...

I had to

sudo port -f uninstall py-libdnet sudo port install py25-libdnet

And now everything seems to work. Why did the "registry" think I had the 2.5 version installed? How do you indicate that the port conflicts, or is there something in the python group for 2.5 that I am missing that would manage to avoid this conflict?

[pmq@…]

Hi Mike, Will commit your port, I also want scapy2 in the tree. It seems Chris Owen is inactive in the project as of now, so would you accept to be the maintainer?

[pmq@…]

OK committed, thanks. BTW, saw your mail on -dev, I already committed #16677 some time ago.
