ncbi_tools-20070826

[mike012012@…]

Update to latest version of software. Added (hopefully) support for livecheck.

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

Added your livecheck in r33347. I'm not sure it'll work but we'll see.

Updated the port to version 20070826 in r33351. I also added dist_subdir ${name}/${version} since the distfile name doesn't contain the version. If we did not do this, anyone who still had the old distfile would now get a checksum error when trying to upgrade.

That should take care of #14028 too.

Your patch also undid r23053. I assume you did not mean to do that, so I did not commit that part of your patch.

This is currently broken again as a new release is out. I think the portfile should explicitly list the download url of the version, ie:

master_sites ftp://ftp.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/toolbox/ncbi_tools/old/20070822/

instead of

master_sites ftp://ftp.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/toolbox/ncbi_tools/

This will make the port more robust.

casbon, I fixed the download location as you suggest in r38755.

The livecheck added in r33347 also doesn't really work great. Attached is a revised livecheck that works better and tells you what new version is available. Mike, I'd like to commit this change if you have no objections.

I'll file new tickets for other issues I have with the ncbi_tools port.
