Upgrade PDL to 2.006 and adds ports for some prereqs

[mgrimes@…]

The PDL team as request someone help upgrade and maintain the p5-pdl port:

​http://mailman.jach.hawaii.edu/pipermail/perldl/2013-May/007906.html

I have volunteered and updated the Portfile, as well as, ports for the missing prerequisites. I believe the current maintainer (saao.ac.za:tim) is looking to turn over maintenance to someone else. I am willing to step up for the time being, but don't want to push Tim (or anyone else) out if they are interested.

The attached patches provides the following:

• Patches p5-pdl/Portfile and adds a script to files to fix the documentation database

• Adds ports for p5-file-map, p5-module-compile, p5-convert-uu and p5-perlio-layers, which are prereqs for p5-pdl

• Adds port for p5-pdl-graphics-gnuplut, which isn't a prerequisite, but helpful for demos, etc.

Thanks, Mark

Trac accepts normally formatted email addresses only.

@tim: Please let us know if you still are maintaining this port.

[mf2k (Frank Schima)]

@mgrimes: Thanks for your contribution, but your new ports really need to be cleaned up a bit. The output of cpan2port is just a start.

• Are they in fact noarch? Please check each one and uncomment or delete the line as appropriate.
• The license field for each new port should be added. Often the same license as the perl5.16 port will work if it uses the "perl 5" license.

[mgrimes@…]

Thanks for the pointers. I've added or removed the noarch flag as appropriate, set the license and wrapped the depends in if {${perl5.major} != ""}. Hope these look better.

I'm not sure what to do for maintainer, particularly for p5-pdl.

I think most of the other usual lines are generated by PortGroup (homepage, platforms, etc). Please let me know if I missed any others.

[mf2k (Frank Schima)]

Thanks, these look much better. Now we just need to wait for the maintainer's approval. Otherwise I will commit these in 3 days after maintainer timeout.

[mvgrimes]

It doesn't look like these were ever committed. Anything I can do to move things along.

Also, there is a new version of PDL out (2.007). If/when I update the port to that version, should I submit it in the same fashion (ie, via trac)?

Thanks.

I just took a look at these again. I fixed a problem that the patch is no longer against the current svn revision. But I am not able to install p5.16-pdl because the port p5.16-convert-uu cannot be found.

$ sudo port install p5.16-pdl
Password:

Error: Dependency 'p5.16-convert-uu' not found.

[mf2k (Frank Schima)]

If you want, you could attach an updated patch for the 2.007 version against the current svn revision of the p5-pdl port.

[mvgrimes]

The p5-pdl-prereqs.2.patch attachement has Portfiles for all the missing prereqs (p5-convert-uu, p5-file-map, p5-module-compile, p5-perlio-layers). The p5-pdl-graphics-gnuplot.2.patch also creates a new port, but it isn't a prereq for p5-pdl. All in all, there are three .patch files that update p5-pdl and create five new ports.

[mf2k (Frank Schima)]

Doh. Thanks for the pointer. But now I'm stuck on p5.16-file-map.

Indeed, the build directory has Build.PL but no Makefile.PL. I even tried with the latest version 0.61. Can you post a working Portfile for p5-file-map?

[mvgrimes]

Patch from 2.4 to 2.6 including new ports for prereqs and pdl-graphics-gnuplot

[mvgrimes]

I'm not sure why that is failing. The Portfile that I have for p5-file-map includes:

perl5.use_module_build

On my system it uses Build.PL in the build step and works fine. Maybe there is an issue with the patch file. I'm attaching a new diff (p5-pdl-and-prereqs.diff​) that includes p5-pdl, its prereqs and p5-pdl-graphics-gnuplot.

Thanks for tackling this.
