redis - Add New Port

[brianjlandau@…]

Redis is a key-value pair based database where the dataset exists in memory and is persisted between session on the file-system.

This is a portfile and necessary config files for a new port to be added.

should go in the port's files directory

A few notes:

• get rid of epoch, that is only needed when the version is changed but doesn't appear (to port) to be newer
• use use_configure no instead of configure {}
• for the .conf files, install them as *.conf.dist (or *.conf.sample), then in post-activate copy that to just *.conf if that file isn't already present; this way the port doesn't own *.conf (and hence removes it on upgrade), only *.conf.dist; see for example stegdetect​
• is the only way to shutdown to use netcat?

I'll make the second and third changes for sure.

As for the first change, since this download is based on a git commit I thought an epoch would be a good idea as it would identify changes even if it's the same "version".
When the project is stable (the developer I believe is aiming for a 1.0 release late this summer), I think moving to downloading the "official" tarball would make sense. Until then since development is so active I thought using the git commit based tarballs would be best.

As for netcat: To properly shutdown the server you need to send the text "SHUTDOWN" via TCP to the server. As far as I know the best way to do this is with netcat. If you have a better suggestion I welcome it.

The thing about epoch is that, once set, you can never set it to something smaller or remove it. Can you use something like 0.091-20090422 as the version instead, that's how some other ports do it.

[brianjlandau@…]

Yeah that sounds good I'll put the date in the version instead.
I'll submit a new file later today.

[brianjlandau@…]

I think that Portfile I uploaded earlier should handle all the issues. Let me know if you need anything else.

[blb@…]

One final issue, downloading doesn't work. Should it be using google in master_sites, since I don't see any downloads at the ​github downloads page?

[brianjlandau@…]

I'm going to look into the best solution to this.

Portfile for redis

[brianjlandau@…]

Ok I think the current port file attached is good to go. I just decided to use the current version from Google code to reduce the complexity.

[blb@…]

Added in r50229, thanks for the work.
