Gentlefolk,
quick question from a new-comer.
Is there a timetable for the closing of this ticket:
<http://trac.macports.org/projects/macports/ticket/14090>?
We're writing a 'how to' for installing maven (and a maven plugin,
but that's not germain here) on a range of OSes and the OS X
instructions currently include a 'edit the Portfile thus' section
(we've tested this, BTW, and incorporating the Portfile.diff
changes uploaded by [EMAIL PROTECTED] makes 'port install maven'
work).
We're also noting said section will be redundant eventually but
were wondering if we can get away with excising the section entirely.
The timetable is that if a maintainer has not responded to a ticket
within 72 hours, anyone else can take it. So since it's been a week
I'll take care of it now. Sometimes tickets also get forgotten, so if
there's a ticket that's important to you it can be helpful to bring
it up here, like you did.
Alternatively, is there a way I can do the tweaking necessary to
incorporate the changes and close the ticket myself (I registered a
login to the macports.org WordPress blog earlier today)?
You would have to write to portmgr and request commit access to the
repository. However you would generally want to first contribute
patches to existing ports, and become the maintainer of some ports,
before commit access would be granted.
