yorick: new version (2.2.01)

[thibaut.paumard@…]

Hi,

this is a new upstream release of Yorick.

Upstream doesn't publish tarballs anymore, they just push a git tag.

Regards, Thibaut.

2.1.06 -> 2.2.01 upgrade

[ryandesign@…]

Since this software is now hosted at github, it will simplify the portfile if you use the github portgroup. That will also allow you to use the tarballs that github automatically creates whenever a tag is created, which we would much prefer over fetching from git. I'll attach a revised patch.

I fixed the formatting of the notes in r91409.

[ryandesign@…]

The github portgroup didn't make it easy to handle projects like yorick whose tag names contain an obfuscation of the version number instead of the version number itself. I've modified the github portgroup in r91448 to make this easier.

[ryandesign@…]

I've attached the revised patch. May I commit it?

Hi Ryan,

Thanks for your time!

I'm confused about the notes format. Without quotes, I get one word per line, as in:

Yorick
has
no
built-in
line-editing
capabilities,

Perhaps you can enlighten me?

Apart from that, yes please, commit whenever you're ready :-)

Regard, Thibaut.

When the notes feature was initially added to MacPorts three years ago it behaved like description and long_description and quotes were not used. But it was quickly realized that this was not as flexible as we needed it to be, and so the internal implementation of the notes feature was changed, which unfortunately also necessitated quoting the notes. I assumed we had already fixed the now-incorrect original usage in the few ports that had been using it, but I guess yorick was overlooked. I fixed it in r91409.

Apart from that, yes please, commit whenever you're ready :-)
