new port: py-gmpy2

[mndavidoff (Monte Davidoff)]

New port for the Python bindings to support fast multiple-precision arithmetic. GMPY2 supports the GMP library for integer and rational arithmetic and multiple-precision real and complex arithmetic as provided by the MPFR and MPC libraries. The unified portfile supports Python 2.6, 2.7, 3.1, and 3.2.

There is an existing port, py-gmpy, for GMPY 1.*. Since GMPY 1 is still being supported (there are current versions for both GMPY and GMPY2 on the project download page), I have submitted GMPY2 as a new port instead of updating the GMPY port.

[mndavidoff (Monte Davidoff)]

Let me add that gmpy and gmpy2 are different Python modules (i.e., import gmpy vs. import gmpy2), hence the new py-gmpy2 port.

Updated the Portfile submission to include support for Python 3.3.

[mndavidoff (Monte Davidoff)]

Updated the Portfile submission for version 2.0.0b2. If you can remove the Portfile.2 attachment, please do so. (I forgot to check the "replace" box the first time.)

[mndavidoff (Monte Davidoff)]

Updated the Portfile submission for version 2.0.0b3.

Commited in r101509. Do you want to be listed as maintainer for the port? If yes, please state which email address I should use in the format domain.tld:localpart and whether you want to mark the port as openmaintainer (see section 7.3.1 of the MacPorts Guide at ​https://guide.macports.org/#project.update-policies).

[mndavidoff (Monte Davidoff)]

Thank you for committing this submission. Yes, you can list me as the maintainer of this port. Use alluvialsw.com:md14-macports (same e-mail address as my MacPorts trac login) and include openmaintainer. If I am the maintainer of this port, it makes sense for me to also maintain its sister port, py-gmpy, so please add alluvialsw.com:md14-macports openmaintainer as the maintainer of py-gmpy, as well.

This is the first port for which I will be the maintainer, so this is new territory for me. Is there any documentation on how to be a maintainer? In particular, since I do not have commit access, what is the procedure to submit a change?

Just create a ticket with patches as you would otherwise, except use “maintainer” as one of the keywords.

I added you as maintainer in r101538.

You can read

• CommittersTipsAndTricks (even if you don't have commit access sections 6, 7 and 8 might be interesting for you)
• The Guide on Portfile devlopment ​http://guide.macports.org/#development (although you probably know that, since you wrote the Portfile)
• PortfileRecipes for some often-used snippets for Portfiles.

Being a maintainer means any tickets opened against the port will be assigned to you, so your job is to keep the port up-to-date (try port livecheck maintainer:'alluvialsw.com:md14-macports' to help you with that) and handle any bug reports.

In particular, since I do not have commit access, what is the procedure to submit a change?

As previously stated, open a ticket, set keywords to maintainer. If you're attaching a patch, also add haspatch. If nobody commits it within a couple of days, write to the macports-dev list. Feel free to Cc me on any tickets that need a commit.
