Hey @herbygillot. Thanks for this. Honestly, I'm pretty unfamiliar with MacPorts. Have not used it before myself. Did you add jqp
there? If so, how is that done and if and when I push a new version of jqp
, how does that get updated with the new release?
Hey there @noahgorstein, no worries.
Basically every piece of software in MacPorts has a "port". Folks volunteer to be maintainers for a port.
A Portfile
is what defines a port and tells MacPorts how to build that port's software.
I have submitted a Portfile for jqp
here: https://github.com/macports/macports-ports/blob/master/textproc/jqp/Portfile
As maintainer, when jqp
gets updated, I'll update the Portfile accordingly.
Usually anyone can submit updates to ports as pull requests: https://github.com/macports/macports-ports/pulls
MacPorts end users install MacPorts onto their machines from https://www.macports.org/
That will then make the port
command available, and then that can be used to install any port.
Okay, awesome. Appreciate you explaining that and thanks for volunteering to maintain the port! I'll go ahead and merge this.
