whizard: update to 2.1.1

[Romendakil]

The software WHIZARD in the scientific part of MacPOrts has a new version (2.1.1 instead of 2.1.0). How do I update MacPorts in order to let the MacPorts user know this?

The proper way to do this is to open a ticket (like you did) and assign it to the maintainer (which I just have done for you). The maintainer (or somebody else, so if you want to give it a try, go ahead) then creates a patch against the Portfile to update the version and checksum statements.

Given the patch, we need the maintainer stating that the patch is fine and a commiter (e.g., me) will commit it. If the port was marked openmaintainer (see the guide for the definition), this update could be done without explicit permission of the maintainer.

Ok, I tried to supply the patch file, updating the version number, the checksums, and the configure parameters.

The revision should reset to 0 with a new version. For future reference, unified diff format is preferred.

Ok, will do that the next time. When will the new version be available in the ports database?

In 30 minutes tops, since I just committed the update in r99533. Normally, we would wait for approval of the maintainer (whizard@…), but I'm doing this without approval according to our policy for non-maintainer updates as described in the guide, section 7.3.1: ​http://guide.macports.org/#project.update-policies.nonmaintainer.
