map server @6.0.2 update add +postgis

[jeabraham]

Mapserver was not compiling for me, so I tried the latest version. There is a mapserver bug that I had to patch, and I added PostGIS support.

It shouldn't be dependent on a particular version of postgresql, but I don't know how to select a version in the variant/dependencies.

In the future, please don't forget to Cc the maintainer(s).

Please name your patch like foo.diff so Trac recognizes it. Also, do not change the # $Id: line.

The postgis port has postgresql variants. So if, for example, it was built with postgresql90, then this wouldn't work. I suggest you make all the postgresql* variants like the postgis port.

Thanks for the clues. This is my first port submission that I did all by myself so thanks for pointing out my beginner mistakes.

Hmm, the postgis variant should automatically use the most up-to-date installed postgresql, if I knew how to query ports to figure out what was installed (along the lines of:

   postgresqlinstalled = {somehow query ports to figure out the most recent variant installed)

) there are two lines in the Portfile that could be adjusted:

  depends_lib-append		port:postgresql{postgresqlinstalled}
   configure.args-append   --with-postgis=${prefix}/lib/postgresql{postgresqlinstalled}/bin/pg_config

#30250 contains an updated portfile which attempts to use an installed postgres version

[anddam (Andrea D'Amore)]

Updated to 6.0.3 in r96046, maintainer timeout and port abandoned #35424. I added you as maintainer since you were willing to, I used the variants and the postgres trick from patch provided in #30250.

Ticket closed as fixed.
