txt2regex: noarch; license; manpage location

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

The txt2regex port installs a manpage, but with the wrong extension (".man" instead of the required ".1"), so "man txt2regex" doesn't actually find it. The attached Portfile patch fixes this, and indicates that the port doesn't install any architecture-specific files, and builds and installs the localized message catalogs.

It does this by removing the custom destroot phase the Portfile had been using, and instead patching the Makefile to work properly. The Makefile patch makes the following changes:

• Introduces PREFIX variable and uses it instead of assuming /usr
• Fixes how DESTDIR is handled so that DESTDIR doesn't get written into the final txt2regex script
• Replaces "echo -n" (which doesn't work as intended on POSIX-compliant systems like Snow Leopard and higher) with "printf"
• Installs manpage

The Makefile patch should be suitable for submission to the developers of this software, if they're interested.

Gave a try on Mavericks and fails at build

just send LANG & co as destroot.env and after it's ok

It's definitely a locale related issue, it builds and installs fine for me (10.9.2, US).

Replying to jul_bsd@…:

This is a separate issue and should be a separate ticket; the maintainer filed it as #43268.
