Comment (by ryandesign):

 Replying to [comment:6 kurthindenburg]:
 > Note that this doesn't allow use of tar.xz patch files such as
 w3m_0.5.3-36.debian.tar.xz - that would need another patch

 I would consider that a completely separate feature, to be dealt with in
 another ticket, following perhaps first a mailing list discussion in which
 the feature is proposed and specified. MacPorts doesn't support .tar.gz or
 .tar.bz2 "patch files" either. A tar file could (and the example
 w3m_0.5.3-36.debian.tar.xz file does) contain multiple files, not all of
 which are patches; it's not immediately clear how or if MacPorts should
 handle that.
