dparser: upstream tarball is broken

[akimd (Akim Demaille)]

Hi!

Installing dparser fails. It appears that the problem is that tar refuses to untar the source tarball:

$ tar xf '/opt/local/var/macports/distfiles/dparser/d-1.30-src.tar.gz'
d/my.c: Can't create 'd/my.c'
d/my.g: Can't create 'd/my.g'
tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors.

the reason appears that there are two entries for these files, the second one being very fishy:

$ tar tvf '/opt/local/var/macports/distfiles/dparser/d-1.30-src.tar.gz' | grep d/my
-rw-rw-r--  0 jplevyak jplevyak    346 23 jan  2013 d/my.c
-rw-rw-r--  0 jplevyak jplevyak    124 23 jan  2013 d/my.g
hrw-rw-r--  0 jplevyak jplevyak      0 23 jan  2013 d/my.c link to d/my.c
hrw-rw-r--  0 jplevyak jplevyak      0 23 jan  2013 d/my.g link to d/my.g

If you pass -k to tar, the last two incorrect symlinks will not override the extraction, but tar still exits with failure. I suggest that you just ignore the error and proceed.

You should report this bug to the developers of dparser so that they can release a new version with a new tarball that does not have this problem. (If you've already done that, please provide the link.) We can then update the port to that new version.

[akimd (Akim Demaille)]

Yes, I should have done that first, sorry...

I release a new version and github is the new master. I think the new file should be:

long_description \
    DParser is an simple but powerful tool for parsing.  You can specify \
    the form of the text to be parsed using a combination of regular \
    expressions and grammar productions. Because of the parsing technique \
    (technically a scannerless GLR parser based on the Tomita algorithm) \
    there are no restrictions. The grammar can be ambiguous, right or \
    left recursive, have any number of null productions, and because there \
    is no seperate tokenizer, can include whitespace in terminals and have \
    terminals which are prefixes of other terminals. DParser handles not \
    just well formed computer languages and data files, but just about any \
    wacky situation that occurs in the real world.

Sadly I don't have a mac to check this on.
