noahgorstein commented 2 years ago

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.
