Description
First of all, sorry for the (more than possible) mistakes in the portfile because it is my first submission.
Tracebox (http://www.tracebox.org/) is a tool that allows to detect middleboxes on any paths, i.e., between a source and any destination. Tracebox can be viewed as a tool similar to traceroute as it uses ICMP replies to identify changes in the packets.
I used the homebew formula as a template https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew/blob/master/Library/Formula/tracebox.rb
It is a very useful tool for network admins like me, I hope someone could take a look, please
Thanks in advance!!

A few quick observations:
- Use
distname v${version} and remove yourdistfilesline. It will be calculated correctly because you haveuse_zip yes. - I believe that
use_autoreconf yeswill automatically include most of your build dependencies, so check that and do not redundantly add them.

Thanks. I just realized that you are fetching from github. So please instead use the github portgroup which will replace your distname, master_sites and version lines.

Did you test it? I'm not seeing the github.setup line.

Not having a lot of luck with this. Homebrew apparently has it running, but it builds but does not run on any system I have tried. Here's my current port for this <https://github.com/kencu/macports-ports/commit/eed7ca1c8f0fd78abaa5cf3cc504c92cc2714072> but it doesn't run <https://github.com/tracebox/tracebox/issues/54>, I'm sad to say.
I'll give this a bit to percolate, to see if there is some reason it crashes on every attempt to run it.

The author has fixed the crash, however at present this software can't use pf and macs since about 10.10 don't include ipfw. Here's the info <https://github.com/tracebox/tracebox/issues/49>
So until that is fixed, there doesn't seem to be a whole lotta point to including this software in MacPorts.
Sorry, I opened the ticket as a bug instead of a request!
