Comment (by dackze+macports at gmail.com):
Hi, I'm the author of Dnuos. I have some comments on your portfile:
1. Why Python 2.4? Dnuos works with versions of Python as old as 2.3, but
I would personally recommend using the latest version of Python, which is
2.5 at the moment.
2. Is it possible to have the port work with an existing Python
installation? Compiling all of Python seems like a hefty dependency to
deal with.
3. `setuptools` support in Dnuos is optional. I don't recommend using it
in this case.
4. Dnuos comes with man pages, currently bundled with its Debian
packaging metadata. These should be built (with `pod2man`) and installed.
5. The current version is now 1.0.8, and I'm going to be releasing 1.0.9
soon.
I've been hesitant about submitting Dnuos to downstream distributions,
mainly because I'd lose some control over how it's released. I release
updates on a regular basis. I also have some issues I'm trying to work out
with setuptools and man page installation, which could change this
portfile. Also, how the application is installed can differ if you have
setuptools installed or not, which I may also change in a future release.
Anyway, I don't think it'd be all that useful to have Dnuos in MacPorts,
simply because it's so much easier to run `sudo easy_install dnuos`, which
works out of the box with 10.5.
