auctex: emacs_app variant leaves --with-auto-dir set

[vishketan@…]

In the auctex port we have

configure.args  --with-lispdir=${prefix}/share/emacs/site-lisp \
	                --with-auto-dir=${prefix}/share/emacs/site-lisp/auctex/auto

but when variant emacs_app is selected the --with-lispdir is overwritten with

  configure.args-append   --with-lispdir=/Applications/MacPorts/Emacs.app/Contents/Resources/lisp

but the --with-auto-dir is left intact and therefore the installation creates a spurious

${prefix}/share/emacs/site-lisp/auctex/auto

directory. For sake of consistency we need a

  configure.args-append   --with-autodir=/Applications/MacPorts/Emacs.app/Contents/Resources/lisp/auctex/auto

Why do we even need to change the location of the lispdir in the first place? emacs-app includes ${prefix}/share/emacs/site-lisp in its load path.

Please remember to use WikiFormatting so your posts are legible.

/Applications/MacPorts should not be hardcoded in the Portfile; it should use ${applications_dir} instead.

How about the attached Portfile which installs the lisp files into ${prefix}/share/emacs/site-lisp and also cleans up a few things.

I am using a post_activate script to update the dir file in ${prefix}/share/info. Is there a more elegant way of doing the same thing?

Is there a way to specify one of two ports as a dependency e.g. depends_lib port:emacs or port:emacs-app?
