tmux @1.8 patch attached to update tmux to 1.9a

[tessus (Helmut K. C. Tessarek)]

I've updated the tmux Portfile:

• updated version to 1.9a
• removed unnecessary patchfiles, configure.env, livecheck

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

Supersedes #42661 and #43219 which had requested this update.

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

Thanks for the update. I committed it in r118741 with these changes:

• I did not commit your removal of some whitespace because I prefer some whitespace between parts of the portfile
• I removed the "revision 1" line because the first revision of any version of a port should be 0.
• I did not remove the livecheck lines because although the livecheck wasn't working, removing the lines didn't fix it; instead I fixed the livecheck.regex.
• I rewrote the master_sites to avoid redirects.

[tessus (Helmut K. C. Tessarek)]

Thanks for comitting the changes. Removing the empty lines was a mistake on my side. my bad.

btw, just as an info: I tested my Portfile locally and it worked perfectly (w/o your changes) - wrt livecheck and master_sites

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

The old value of master_sites would have worked, but would have incurred HTTP redirects and some other side effects described at wiki:howto/AvoidRedirects which we want to avoid.

Regarding the livecheck, I've just checked again, and removing the livecheck lines results in the following behavior:

$ port livecheck tmux
Error: cannot check if tmux was updated (regex didn't match)
$

Whereas the livecheck lines as I committed them result in the following behavior:

$ port livecheck tmux
$

(correctly indicating that no newer version of the software exists).

[tessus (Helmut K. C. Tessarek)]

Thanks for the info. I'm new to writing portfiles and I haven't run the command $ port livecheck tmux, I just did a $ port upgrade tmux and it downloaded the file and everything seemed ok.

Now I know for the next time. :-) Cheers.
