port info: curly braces around description when referenced inside long_description

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

Regression from 1.7.0: when you look at "port info" for a port whose long_description references ${description}, on trunk the description is surrounded by curly braces; this was not the case with 1.7.0.

MacPorts 1.7.0:

$ port info pure-ffi
pure-ffi @0.4 (devel)
Variants:    darwin

pure-ffi provides an interface to libffi which enables you to call C functions from Pure and vice versa. It goes beyond Pure's built-in C interface in that it also handles C structs and makes Pure functions callable from C. Moreover, depending on the libffi implementation, it may also be possible to call foreign languages other than C.

MacPorts trunk @46785:

$ port info pure-ffi
pure-ffi @0.4 (devel)
Variants:             darwin

Description:          pure-ffi provides {an interface to libffi which enables you to call C functions
                      from Pure and vice versa.} It goes beyond Pure's built-in
                      C interface in that it also handles C structs and makes
                      Pure functions callable from C. Moreover, depending on the
                      libffi implementation, it may also be possible to call
                      foreign languages other than C.

[illogic-al@…]

a) i think this is actually the case in 1.7.0. I've noticed this and am not running trunk. b) i think your braces got eaten in the second example.

[illogic-al@…]

Aha! it wasn't actually 'port info' where i noticed this, but rather 'port pkg'

If I run the package that was created from a port that ${description} for long_description then I can see what you're referring to. So a) above is incorrect.
