digikam-0.10.0 new port submission

[rechner@…]

In February this year I already created a Portfile for digikam and sent it to the ​macports users list. But no one picked it up, and included it in the repositories. So now I try it via trac, the proper way.

During the LONG process of building all dependencies (on my good old G4) I stumbled upon two problems, one in kdegraphics4 (on a case-sensitive file-system) (#20313) and one in qca (#20314).

First I tried to use digiKam 1.0 beta 2, and even succeeded installing it, but it keeps crashing, so it might be too early for a ticket?

I'm not sure if this version needs kdegraphics4 at all, but digikam 1.0 definitely needs it, so the dependency might as well stay in here already.

Replying to rechner@…:

Typo: In the line on digiKam 1.0 it has to be "too early", not "to early".

Additional info: I only tested digiKam on Mac OS superficially, but it seems pretty stable. It only crashed once when deleting an album. I did have issues with thumbnail pictures not showing, but I don't know whether it was just a dbus issue like in February, or whether it really helps to launch /Applications/MacPorts/KDE4/kded4.app and other programs before digiKam, as ​Jan Gosmann (link to his German description for installing digiKam 0.10.0 on Mac OS) suggests.

P.S.: Today is the first day I use trac. Thanks, macsforever2000, for fixing my formatting!

Fixed. :)

A couple of notes about your portfile submission:

• The "revision 0" line is unnecessary and should be removed.
• In the long_description line, the word "applications" should be "application".
• The distname line is redundant and should be removed since that is the default.
• I do not understand this line: "configure.args-append ../${distname}". Does it really need that to configure?
• Are you willing to be the maintainer for this port?
