rednotebook is strongly outdated

[dClauzel (Damien Clauzel)]

Version in MacPorts is 1.2.0. Current version in upstream is ​1.8.1.

v1.8.1 runs fine with the macports’s dependencies of v1.2.0 (py27-pygtk, py27-yaml, py27-webkitgtk), without the need to do the python deployment (which I didn’t test):

cd rednotebook-1.8.1/
./run

However, the spellchecker doesn’t work, even after installing py27-gtkspell.

I updated the port to 1.8.1 in r125232. It builds and runs for me but I did not test it further.

Replying to ryandesign@…:

Thanks! It works fine, with non-important messages

I can confirm that the spellchecker works after manually installing py27-gtkspell and aspell-dict-fr (my environment is set up in French). They could be added as suggested extra dependencies.

I've added the py27-gtkspell dependency in r125235.
