I didn't realise that so many ports didn't install .info files if
they were available -- I need as much documentation as I can find ;)
-- but I agree that this should be stated as a MacPorts-wide policy.
I'll see if I can get that put into the new guide under "Portfile
writing guidelines" or similar.
As for the port at hand, I think that the best course of action would
be to file a ticket on Trac with the maintainers cc'ed, or, failing
that, emailing the maintainers directly to advise them of the issue.
I hope it all works out for you!
Kind regards,
