Upgrade phonon

[Nicolas Pavillon]

Hello, 

The qt7 backends have indeed been suppressed from the phonon code, for what I could see, and I indeed did not look up the backends proposed in the kde servers at this point. I am not sure if this is needed by any software depending on phonon, which is the main reason why I asked for a second opinion before committing it. 

I am not sure that we could suppress the post-destroot phase also. This file is not installed by default by Phonon, and is only available when installing kdelibs4. Some other ports such as attica or dbusmenu-qt  (among probably others) may have problems, as they are installed before kdelibs4, but I did not test this issue. 

I added the Portfile's diff to the ticket suggested by Ryan. 

Cheers, 

Nicolas

> Hi Nicolas - Nice to know that Phonon is still being updated; I haven't looked at it in a long time.  We (I) split off Phonon from qt4-mac because that provided by KDE is more up-to-date.  But, as you probably found out, it required a lot of hacking to get Qt's additions to build within the updated Phonon.  I did try your updated Portfile, and it works just fine -- except that it doesn't compile / provide the same Qt plugins (backends) as that provided by qt4-mac.  Meaning, the QuickTime7 (qt7) plugin.  And, there are other backends available < http://www.gtlib.gatech.edu/pub/kde/stable/phonon/ >, for those interested: DirectShow, VLC, GStreamer, and Xine.  I don't know what can be made to work with MacPorts / OSX / Darwin, but I doubt that we'll get the qt7 backend working without hacking it up like I did with the current Phonon.  Admittedly, I don't know if anyone cares to use -any- of these backends ... and if not, then that makes the portfile pretty simple.  I think you can even get rid of the post-destroot, since the FindPhonon.cmake file is installed correctly (into a location where the KDE portgroup will search for it; not where the Qt portgroup will search for it, but I doubt that matters much).  Thanks for looking into this. - MLD
