tcl_bonjour @1.0 version update to 1.1

[blair@…]

I am submitting a Portfile change to update the tcl_bonjour package to its latest upstream version of 1.1. The new Portfile and version were tested against Macports version 2.0.4.

Thanks. In the future please supply a unified diff instead of a complete new portfile; it'll make it easier for us to review your proposed changes.

What is the relationship between this project and your site ​http://the-blair.com/sw/tcl_bonjour/ ? Are you a developer of this software? Or are you just repackaging their software and hosting it on your site? I checked the official tarball on github and there appears no difference between it and yours, except for the name of the directory it extracts into, so why don't we just use the one from github? The MacPorts github portgroup makes this easy. I'm attaching a revised proposal. What do you think?

revised proposal

With regards to supplying a unified diff, will do.

As for your revised proposal, I like it. I am the developer and was hosting packages on my own site. When I first submitted this project, I don't think the PortGroup feature existed. I'd just as soon pull the official tar ball from github (one less thing for me to maintain).

Thanks!

Yes, I didn't create the github portgroup until recently, but I was seeing a lot of people either avoiding github distfiles (because of the unpredictable directory names) or adding lots of code to each portfile to handle it. And that's what portgroups are for: hiding away commonly used functionality in a sort of include file that any port can use. I've updated the port with my patch in r90619.
