archivers/pigz — New port

[danchr@…]

Portfile attached. I'm not terribly interested in any official maintainership, so it's marked openmaintainer.

Portfile

[ryandesign@…]

Thanks, I committed it in r67129 with these changes:

• obfuscated your email address in the maintainers line
• replaced pig with pigz in the long description
• used consistent whitespace and indentation
• removed the mkdir in the destroot because MacPorts makes those directories for you
• replaced file copy with xinstall and file link with ln -s since that's what we customarily use
• removed the dependency on gzip; pigz uses zlib, not gzip, but since the Makefile doesn't respect LDFLAGS it uses Mac OS X's zlib, not MacPorts'; we'll have to patch the Makefile; I'll file a new ticket for this

Why was this one committed instead of the almost identical one I submitted 4 months ago?

#23033

Did I make some mistake in the Portfile or in the ticket submission which then caused it to be ignored and the work duplicated?

Should I have separately asked for it to be committed instead of just filing a ticket with the Portfile? If so, where?

[ryandesign@…]

Because I saw this ticket, because I happened to be looking at new tickets shortly after this one was filed. I usually search for duplicate tickets when I handle a ticket; I forgot to do so on this one. Sorry. If the portfile you submitted does things differently from this one, and you feel your version is better, please file a ticket with a diff of the changes you'd like made.

If you do not get a response to tickets you file, you can ask for someone to look at them by posting a message on macports-dev.

FWIW I never searched for duplicates; I just wrote the port and submitted it. (And then fixed the errors Ryan pointed out.) If you care about this port, perhaps you should be added as a maintainer too?
