springrts portfile submission

[pepijndevos@…]

I have successfully created a port for the Spring RTS.

This is my first portfile, but it works fine, and I'd like it to be added to Macports.

The second patch is a little fuzzy, is that a problem?

[pepijndevos@…]

I updated the portfile with an applescript that acts as a proxy between a familiar app bundle and the real unix binary. Double-click to run, drag maps or mods onto it to install them.

Can python26 be used instead of python25? We are trying to move away from the older version.

[pepijndevos@…]

The dependencies list 2.5: ​http://springrts.com/wiki/Build_from_source#Full_list But they are listed as optional and for AI/bindings, so 2.6 might work as well, I'll contact a developer.

Anyway, I did not use python_select to activate the 2.5 version, so it just used the Mac supplied version if it used it at all I guess. Shall we just remove the Python dependency?

I'll remove it, but they've told me there's going to be a bugfix release soon, so I think it is wise to wait for that.

The post-activate ui_msg should be replaced with the notes feature. Also, ${applications_dir} should be used instead of hardcoding /Applications/MacPorts.

Thanks, I'll incorporate those into the next portfile. The next version should be out soon, and my testing shows all the patches includes in this one are no longer needed, how do I remove them from this ticket?

You cannot remove attached files. You can only update them. So just update the portfile and now we know not to add them to svn.

0.81.2 is out and working, with 2 patch files, Python has been removed.

Thanks

I was going to commit this, but I couldn't get it to install. Attaching an updated portfile with these important changes anyway:

• Fixed the post-destroot code creating the app outside the destroot
• Using ${prefix} in the applescript instead of hardcoding /opt/local
• Ensuring that macports' SDL is used
• Added some missing xorg dependencies
• Added a checksum type other than md5

I think #25550 should be merged into this ticket.

Is there still any interest in adding a port for this? Spring RTS is still actively developed.
