 Replying to [comment:2 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.

 I don't remember why I put Python 2.4 but I agree I should have put Python
 2.5.  Any problems with the portfile stem from my lack of knowledge about
 macports.  It's probably possible to make the port without the python dep
 and just rely on Apple's python distribution but macports is also run on
 systems that are not MacOS X so I don't know what the proper way to
 configure the portfile is.

 >  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.

 I'll submit a second portfile later and not do this.

 >  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 apologize for screwing that up in the port, it was totally my oversight.

 >
 > 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.

 Currently dnuos lacks any way to push out updates for its users and there
 is no mailing list or RSS feed to keep them informed.  If you want users
 to get your updates you're relying on them to check the page occasionally.
 As long as I'm using dnuos I'll submit these portfiles to the best of my
 ability and that's a way to push out dnuos updates that currently doesn't
 exist.

 > 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.
