Comment (by ryandesign@…):

 Thanks. Some remarks:

 We should not add the "mysql5" variant to new ports, since the mysql5 port
 is deprecated and has for a long time already been superseded by the
 mysql51 port; instead, we should work on phasing the mysql5 variant out of
 other ports.

 There are newer versions of mariadb: mariadb-10.0 and mariadb-10.1. We
 should have variants for these as well, though I don't know what naming
 convention we should use ("-" is not a valid character in variant names).
 We should decide on this and be consistent about it, since this will
 affect many ports than just this one. Maybe you should bring it up on the
 mailing list and see if a consensus can be reached. We should also decide
 what default we want to use. Last time it was asked, I thought defaulting
 to the latest stable mariadb was a fine idea, but I don't remember if we
 finally decided on that.

 The ./autogen.sh script regenerates the autotools files such as the
 configure script and the Makefiles. That's also what "`use_autoconf yes`"
 does. So in your current portfile, you're regenerating them twice. Usually
 you would set "`use_autoconf yes`", and if the project provides a script
 like ./autogen.sh to do that, then additionally set "`autoconf.cmd
 ./autogen.sh`" and use "`depends_build-append port:autoconf port:automake
 port:libtool`". MacPorts automatically adds those dependencies when you
 "`use_autoconf yes`" unless you override autoconf.cmd. I see that you
 added a dependency on port:autogen. Note that autogen is ''not'' a part of
 autotools and is ''not'' needed here. It is common for projects to include
 a ''script'' called "autogen.sh", but that's not related to the "autogen"
 port or executable.

 In the ${name}-devel subport, you set "`git.url
 https://github.com/firnsy/barnyard2.git`"; you don't need to, since the
 github portgroup sets that for you. You also use "`fetch.type git`". Is
 that really necessary? It's preferable to use a tarball instead, which
 running github.setup will set up for you.

 The distname, master_sites and livecheck overrides should not be
 necessary. Just set the correct tag prefix (the 4th parameter to
 github.setup):

 {{{
 github.setup        firnsy barnyard2 1.13 v2-
 }}}
