Thanks. The port is now updated and port examples added. Sticking with the SF version, which is still advertised as the main site for releases in the docs (also listed in yesterday's announcement at http://sourceforge.net/p/flex/mailman/message/34626590/). This version includes the configure script and flex.pdf, so there's no need to run autoconf, automake, tex etc. to build those.
You forgot to add the license.
The licence is complicated. It is not a standard 3-clause BSD licence, as you suggested. Clauses such as "The United States Government has rights in this work pursuant to contract no. DE-AC03-76SF00098 between the United States Department of Energy and the University of California." confuse this matter. Also the fact that the program is linked with the GNU gettext library has important implications. The current ports licensing framework has no way to indicate this properly. I prefer to leave this out and let people who really care about licensing, work out the implications themselves, rather than give a misleading licence indicator.
Ok, thanks.
