#34881 closed enhancement (fixed)

cvs2svn: install example options files

Reported by: luc_j_bourhis@… Owned by: danielluke (Daniel J. Luke)
Priority: Normal Milestone:
Component: ports Version: 2.1.1
Keywords: Cc:
Port: cvs2svn

Description

The source distribution for cvs2svn comes with example of option files for git, bzr and svn (cvs2svn-example.options, cvs2git-example.options, and cvs2bzr-example.options) that are very useful. Pity they are not installed by MacPort.

Replying to ryandesign@…: I don't want to be nit picking but imho this is truly a defect as cvs2svn has two modes of operation, command-line and option file, and without the example options files, the latter cannot be used at all as the documentation for the option file format can only be found in those example files. The word "example" is therefore quite a misnomer here.

Arguing over the classification of the bug (even if you win) isn't going to get it fixed any faster (since it's not going to change when I have some time available to dedicate to looking into it). Submitting a patch that corrects the issue, however, may make things happen more quickly as it's usually easier to apply+verify a change than it is to make it and then test it without basing it on anything.

So ... if you want changes to happen quickly, you should submit a patch, otherwise it's best to remember that everyone working on MacPorts is a volunteer.

Thanks a lot, mate! I did not mean to be rude or anything and you were right of course.
