Portfile for borgbackup

[bket]

Enclosed a Portfile for borgbackup, a deduplicating backup program.

If no one else gets to it, I'll look at this shortly.

Typically, we use python versions 27 34 35 (if those don't work, mention why) and remove the md5 checksum.

Also, a sha256 checksum should be added. See the wiki about ​modern checksums.

• Updated Portfile to the latest version 1.0.1
• replaced md5 checksum by sha256 checksum
• made a note on why Python 3.4 is used. Borgbackup is not a module but a program. Is this worth mentioning?

OK that's fine. Often you can offer to support multiple version of python using variants and "python.versions 34 35" and then add code for variants +python34 and +python35

I expanded the note on why Python 3.4 is used.

In the meantime I had a look at different ports that offer support for multiple versions of Python (non-modules, e.g. www/nghttp2). In the case of BorgBackup I'm not confident that this support solves a problem. I kinda like the simplicity of the current Portfile.

OK?

(BTW. there are now two attachments, which are identical. My bad...sorry!)
