protobuf-python, protobuf-python25, protobuf-python26: noarch

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

protobuf-python, protobuf-python25, protobuf-python26 should be marked as noarch, which will also (now that MacPorts 1.9.0 is out) fix the problem that protobuf-python26 has a universal variant.

Do I need to bump the revision?

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

Probably not necessary.

[blair (Blair Zajac)]

I see the autoconf Port has this:

if {[info exists supported_archs]} {
    supported_archs noarch
} else {
    universal_variant no
}

Do I need all of this or just the "supported_archs noarch" now that MacPorts 1.9.0 is out?

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

Only "supported_archs noarch" is needed with 1.9.0. But we might wait a couple weeks before removing the workarounds from ports, to give people time to upgrade to 1.9.0.

[blair (Blair Zajac)]

So you're suggesting for now to use the syntax that autoconf uses?

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

Yes, it might prevent a few tickets from being filed by users who haven't realized 1.9.0 is available yet. In a couple weeks we can make a sweep through all ports to remove these bits.

[blair (Blair Zajac)]

Thanks, fixed in r68666.

BTW, supported_archs isn't documented in man portfile. Should I open a ticket?

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

There are a great many things missing and outdated in the portfile manpage, it seems, but yes, please file a ticket.
