Port Submission: Viking, a GTK GPS Program

[chi@…]

I made a Portfile for Viking, please consider to add it to the main ports repository.

From the Website:

Viking is a free/open source program to manage GPS data. You can import and plot tracks and waypoints, show Google maps and/or Terraserver maps under it, download geocaches for an area on the map, make new tracks and waypoints, see real-time GPS position, etc. It is written in C with the GTK+ 2 toolkit, available for Linux, other POSIX operating systems, and Windows, and is licensed under the GNU GPL.

Portfile was successfully compiled and tested on OS X 10.5.6.

This is my first submission, I hope everything matches the macports guidelines/standards (i.e. I've added a FIXME to the maintainer field).

Do you want to maintain this port?

[chi@…]

Are you asking me to become a macports member/maintainer? Because, until now I only match one criteria of the membership requirements [1] in that I submitted one single port ;). If that's enough, then why not (I already maintain Viking in the Arch Linux User Repository).

I have to add though that my experience with subversion boils down to regularly pulling changes and creating diffs (though that could be changed of course by reading the docs).

Note that being a port maintainer initially just means dealing with your ports (eg, trac tickets will be assigned to you). This does not mean subversion access right away, so you'll continue to use trac to update the ports.

Ah I see. Okay then, I'll do it, do you need any further information beside my mail address which would be the one I used to open this ticket?

Looks good so far, small comments:

• Line 2 should be # $Id$
• revision 0 is not necessary, this is the default.

Great for your first Portfile!

Thank you :). I've updated the attached Portfile and also added my email address.

Added in r48460 with a couple of changes: removed distfiles since '${distname}.tar.gz' (or more technically, '${distname}${extract.suffix}') is the default, and it needs the curl port as well (links to libcurl); thanks.

Thank you for adding it and for the clarification, I'll keep that in mind (and sorry that the curl dependency slipped through :/ ).
