Comment (by macsforever2000@…):
Here is my $0.02.
Replying to [comment:14 mojca@…]:
> - '''Smooth transition from 4.9.4''': I'm not sure what is needed or how
to implement it.
Make the current {{{geant4}}} port {{{replaced_by geant4.9.6}}}.
> - Decide on licence: is {{{license Restrictive/Distributable Geant4}}}
OK?
I don't have an opinion here and haven't researched the geant4 license.
> - Decide on exact port name: {{{geant4}}}?
I recommend the overall meta port be called "geant" so the version is not
encoded in the name. This allows an easy transition from the current
geant4 port to be {{{replaced_by}}} this.
> - Decide on exact subport name: {{{geant4.9.6}}}?
I like the this. The perl ports (messed up as the perl situation is) are a
good example. I never liked the python/ruby model which omits the periods.
The ruby186 port is a good example of a confusing name.
> - Decide on exact variant names: {{{raytracer_x11/raytracerx}}},
{{{motif/motif_x11}}}, {{{opengl_x11/x11}}}
I like the more explicit naming: {{{raytracer_x11}}}, {{{motif_x11}}},
{{{opengl_x11}}}. But I say that without knowing what the exact
differences are.
> - Document how to use the port (where could this go?)
Use the [http://trac.macports.org/wiki/howto wiki HOWTO page] to link to a
new geant subpage which documents everything. The port itself can have a
"{{{notes}}}" entry which links to this.
> - Review of the Portfile from an experienced MacPorts developer.
Hopefully someone more experienced/knowledgeable than me will look, but
I'll try to take a look sometime.
> Once these are settled, I believe it would be time for the port to go
live.
Good work on this so far. I've been watching from the sidelines without
much time to help.
