Here's a port of the RIPE NCC's asused tool

Known problems:

• I was unable to find the source package on RIPE's FTP server ​ftp://ftp.ripe.net/tools/ so I use a FreeBSD server to fetch the source code
• It seems incompatible with rrdtool port. If rrdtool is installed you'll get the following message:

--->  Activating asused @3.72_whois_new_query_fix_0
Error: Target org.macports.activate returned: Image error: /opt/local/lib/perl5/5.8.9/darwin-2level/perllocal.pod is being used by the active rrdtool port.  Please deactivate this port first, or use 'port -f activate asused' to force the activation.
Error: Status 1 encountered during processing.

Any suggestion to fix them is welcomed.

No port should install perllocal.pod; delete it in post-destroot if you can't prevent the build system from installing it in the first place.

Hi,

I've updated the Portfile to delete perllocal.pod in post-destroot.

The Makefile is appending text to perllocal.pod and this Makefile is generated by a perl script. As I'm not familiar with perl I didn't try to patch this script to prevent the build system to generate perllocal.pod.

For a better version number:

version 3.72
...
distname ${name}-${version}_whois_new_query_fix

Using perl is too general, especially without additional dependencies. With a fallback to /usr/bin/perl this would end up in system directories.

PortGroup perl5 1.0

...

depends_lib         path:[string range ${perl5.bin} [string length ${prefix}/] end]:perl5

configure.cmd       ${perl5.bin}
configure.env       PERL_AUTOINSTALL=--skipdeps
configure.pre_args  Makefile.PL
configure.args      INSTALLDIRS=vendor

To make this more portable even when the version of perl changes (or perl5.10 are perl5.12 used):

post-destroot {
    delete [glob ${destroot}${prefix}/lib/perl5/*/*/perllocal.pod]
}

According to ​FreeBSD, this also needs patching for the config file:

post-patch {
    reinplace "s|asused\\.conf|${prefix}/etc/asused\\.conf|g" ${worksrcpath}/asused.PL
}

In general, the config file should be handled as described in PortfileRecipes.

​Debian has a few more patches, maybe one of them is worth porting?

All the comments above are untested, but I hope that will be enough :-)

Thanks for your remarks and the time spent on this. I'll work on it in the coming days.

Implemented your proposals in the Portfile, example config file should be properly handled now.

For the Debian patchs:

• 01_whois_new_query_fix.dpatch, 02_typo_fix.dpatch and 03_interpreter_fix.dpatch are already implemented in asused-3.72_whois_new_query_fix.tar.gz
• 04_drop_network_tests.dpatch's goal is to avoid execution of tests requiring a network connection. This is useful for distribs on CDs/DVDs but in the case of macports the install is online anyhow. I didn't applied this patch.
• 05_fix_priv_range.dpatch is applied

I also fixed the livecheck.

Thanks for reviewing and comitting.
