 format. do I need to report as a but if name is not correct?

 Well that's a slightly different thing. You're talking about patches that
 a port will use. Frank was talking about the patch you attached to this
 ticket, which will not be used by a port, but will be used by a committer
 to update a port.

 But for both types of patch files, adding the ".diff" extension allows us
 to view the diff properly in Trac, so it's desired.

 The decision to name patchfiles (those patchfiles that portfiles use)
 "patch-*.diff" was made probably 5-7 years ago if I recall. Ports that
 have not been touched since before then might still have patch names that
 don't conform to that pattern. Patch naming is not the most important
 thing in the world, but we have this standard naming convention that we
 decided on, so it's nice to use it.

 > Where is the documentation for sub-port? nothing in
 http://guide.macports.org. or a template/example?

 I don't believe we have any documentation written yet. Grep the existing
 Portfiles for "subport" if you want to find example ports.


 More comments:

  * Is the custom livecheck needed? Usually googlecode projects don't need
 a custom livecheck; the default usually works fine.
  * Could you tell us more about the "FIXME" comment you added, and what
 difficulties you're running into telling MacPorts to download and use that
 second distfile?
