Description
I would like to see Macports add a port for the codegroup program. It is useful for ham radio where one wants to transmit a binary file using only alphanumeric characters.
The web page and source code is found here: https://www.fourmilab.ch/codegroup/
The source is in the public domain. From the man page:
This software is in the public domain. Permission to use, copy, modify, and distribute this software and its documentation for any purpose and without fee is hereby granted, without any conditions or restrictions. This soft- ware is provided
as is without express or implied warranty.
A makefile is provided. The source compiles fine on my Mac running Lion. The tests in "make check" also complete without any errors. I have also been able to use the software without any issues so far.
But please note that one needs to manually install the binary and man page into the right directory because the developer failed to include "make install" in the makefile.
It should be easy to create a portfile.
