#39621: miriad: let MacPorts do the word wrapping in the notes
--------------------------+---------------------
Reporter: ryandesign@… | Owner: peter@…
Type: defect | Status: new
Priority: Normal | Milestone:
Component: ports | Version: 2.1.3
Keywords: | Port: miriad
--------------------------+---------------------
The miriad port hardcodes newlines into its notes:
{{{
$ port notes miriad
miriad has the following notes:
MIRIAD programs are not in your $PATH by default.
You need to run 'source /opt/local/lib/miriad/automiriad.sh' to set up
your shell environment to use MIRIAD. (Source
/opt/local/lib/miriad/automiriad.csh
if you use csh or tcsh.) *** The 'source' keyword is important here! ***
You can put this command in your .profile or other shell initialization
files to have your shells automatically set up to use MIRIAD.
}}}
miriad should allow MacPorts to do the word wrapping at the width of the
user's terminal. This is accomplished by placing the entire notes into a
single Tcl string. If it is desired to wrap lines for better readability
in the portfile, end such lines with a backslash, without any preceding
whitespace. When actually wanting to start a newline in the displayed
notes, simply insert an actual newline character. Here is an example:
{{{

Here is the first paragraph of the\
notes. MacPorts will automatically\
wrap them to the width of the user's\
terminal.
Here is a second paragraph of the\
notes.
