Upgrade camlp5 to 6.17

[pmetzger (Perry E. Metzger)]

Please upgrade camlp5 to 6.17. I've attached a patch.

[mf2k (Frank Schima)]

Notes:

• Please use the github portgroup. This will simplify the Portfile.
• The revision line should be deleted because it starts at 0 when increasing the version and that is the default value.

[pmetzger (Perry E. Metzger)]

I don't know how to use the github portgroup. Can you supply me with information on what to do?

I can easily delete the revision line and update.

Patch to upgrade the Portfile

[pmetzger (Perry E. Metzger)]

Revision line deleted. I still don't know how to use the github portgroup and the documentation file seems a bit silent.

[mf2k (Frank Schima)]

​This website seems to have a good description of using the github portgroup.

[pmetzger (Perry E. Metzger)]

It's not really that great a description, and in particular doesn't tell me what parts of what I did can be replaced with what -- things like the hack I needed to add to alter the version number to remove the "." still seem to be needed. In fact, it isn't clear what goes away other than the path for the distfile.

If you want to get people to fix portfiles properly, it might be nice if someone (perhaps even you) wrote real docs. I'm also reluctant to make changes here when I don't know what I'm actually doing. If you do, could you supply your changes instead, or documentation?

The github port group contains documentation in the ​code. There are also plenty of ports using this port group in the ports tree.

The ​section on port groups in the guide could include more port groups and there are plenty of open requests: #25170, #32428, #39412. Although, most port groups have good documentation inline, where it is less likely to go out of sync. Contributions to the guide are very welcome, I recently added some docs on ​how the guide can be updated by anyone.

I’ll do this at the same time as #52844.

[pmetzger (Perry E. Metzger)]

This can now be closed.
