Port request: p5-mediawiki-api

[cooljeanius (Eric Gallager)]

I am trying to get git-remote-mediawiki working according to these directions: ​https://github.com/Git-Mediawiki/Git-Mediawiki/blob/master/docs/User-manual.md

Part of it says to install the perl module MediaWiki::API. It doesn't appear that MacPorts has a port for this specific module currently:

$ port search mediawiki
mediawiki @1.23.2 (www, php)
    The wiki engine used by Wikipedia

mediawiki.el @2.3.1 (editors)
    An Emacs mode for editing MediaWiki content

p5-html-wikiconverter-mediawiki @0.590.0_2 (perl)
    HTML::WikiConverter::MediaWiki - Convert MediaWiki markup

p5-parse-mediawikidump @1.0.6_1 (perl)
    Access various MediaWiki dump files in perl

p5.28-html-wikiconverter-mediawiki @0.590.0_2 (perl)
    HTML::WikiConverter::MediaWiki - Convert MediaWiki markup

p5.28-parse-mediawikidump @1.0.6_1 (perl)
    Access various MediaWiki dump files in perl

p5.30-html-wikiconverter-mediawiki @0.590.0_2 (perl)
    HTML::WikiConverter::MediaWiki - Convert MediaWiki markup

p5.30-parse-mediawikidump @1.0.6_1 (perl)
    Access various MediaWiki dump files in perl

p5.32-html-wikiconverter-mediawiki @0.590.0_2 (perl)
    HTML::WikiConverter::MediaWiki - Convert MediaWiki markup

p5.32-parse-mediawikidump @1.0.6_1 (perl)
    Access various MediaWiki dump files in perl

Found 10 ports.

I tried installing the module via CPAN instead, but cpan seems to have broken for me lately... It'd be useful to have the module available via MacPorts for cases when CPAN isn't working, to make it easier to get started with git-remote-mediawiki (which ought to have its own port, too, btw). cpan2port doesn't seem to be able to generate a Portfile for it, either, unfortunately... (at least not for me)

don't know about cpan2port, but you could use upt and upt-macports ports - this was work done on a few years ago during GSoC. For me that does generate a Portfile with: upt package -f cpan -b macports MediaWiki-API.

cpan2port -t MediaWiki::API worked for me…should I submit the resulting portfile, or is someone else already preparing to add this port?
