Thank you !

Gosh, there is a lot of packages not maintained !

It could be interesting to launch a call for maintainers on the blog ?

Hmmm - I'm a maintainer of three ports - and waiting since one to three
weeks for commitments ...

If this happens to new maintainers - think they will not be maintainers
for very long

I would second that!

As only a lurker on this list, but an active user of LaTeX and
macports, I uninstalled teTeX last year in favour of texlive. While it
is not perfect (ideally it would be a core system with additional
packages installed as required directly from CTAN with some form of
auto-update) it is what is available "right now". It is a pain
installing anything using macports that has TeX as a dependency and
subsequently having teTeX installed automatically. It is easy to then
fix, but still an annoyance!

Best wishes,

Mark

NB: Must say a thank-you for making macports available - it is really
rather good, and I rely on it all the time

I'm trying to install libffi, which apparently needs a 'pyobjc-1.4.tar.gz'
file to install.  It's failing on the fetch as follows.  Should I put a
ticket in?

I don't have Leopard and won't see it for quite some time. What does it take
to make an app DTrace-able? Is this something that can be done in the port?

There's a diff for the Joyent port of Ruby with Dtrace probes enabled here: http://svn.joyent.com/opensource/dtrace/ruby/patches/ruby-dtrace-1.8.6.diff
I'll hazard a guess that this can be compiled into Macports' Ruby during installation?
