swig 3.0.2 port lacks necessary JavaScript files

[mhucka@…]

MacPorts 2.3.2, freshly updated as of right now, provides a port of SWIG 3.0.2. The swig binary installed reports that it supports JavaScript, but the installation lacks the necessary JavaScript support files, and there is no "swig-javascript" port or equivalent (such as there is for Java in the form of swig-java, for example).

Here is what swig -help reports:

Searching in /opt/local/share/swig reveals none of the necessary JavaScript files are installed by default. Doing port search swig | grep -i javascript does not report any ports (nor does a visual inspection of the results of a plain port search swig).

It appears the root problem is simply that there's no swig-javascript port to be had. May I put in a request for one?

In the future, please fill in the Port field and Cc the port maintainers (port info --maintainers swig).

Oh, so sorry! I'll try to remember that. Thanks.

Not only the javascript *.swg files are missing, all support files for all languages but python and perl5 are missing.

ls /opt/local/share/swig/3.0.12/

I'd need it for csharp, java, ... The workaround is to copy the relevant *.swg files into such a subdir from the upstream git repo.
