Moscow ML port

[Ian Grant]

Dear list,

I sent this on Wednesday last week but I have no evidence it ever reached macports-devel.

I have not yet had any response from the maintainer of the port. What should one do in this circumstance?

For info, the dynamic libraries are a part of the Moscow ML distribution. I presume it was just because of technical difficulties that they were not enabled in the original mosml port. The technical difficulties have all been overcome!

Subject: Moscow ML port on MacPorts/DarwinPorts


Dear cso at rift.dk

I have made a port of the Moscow ML dynamic libraries: intinf, crypt,  
munix, mregex, msocket, mgdbm, mgd on MacOS X. It requires a small  
change to the current mosml port. Attached is a diff of the Portfile  
change and a new patch (which is needed by both ports), as well as a  
Portfile for the new mosml-dynlibs port.

Since the mosml-dynlibs port requires the patched mosml port I guess  
the mosml-dynlibs port should be made to depend on the newer mosml so  
people with the older mosml will be forced to upgrade to the newer  
before adding mosml-dynlibs. But I don't know how to specify the port  
version in a dependency. Is this possible?

Could you let me know whether you would be happy to commit these  
changes (if not tell me what I need to change) and also whether you  
would be able to be the maintainer of the dynamic libraries port as  
well? (I am not a registered MacPorts developer and have no svn access.)

Best wishes
Ian Grant
