Shell archive of net/urbit port

This is a port for urbit 0.4. Feedback on categorization is requested - Urbit is a virtual machine that runs its own system software stack written in its own language, but the ultimate practical end of all of this is a network server to run network applications on the urbit platform, so I went with net/.
Comment 1 Johannes Jost Meixner freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2017-03-13 17:03:38 UTC
Testing the shar I noticed the following:

* PORTVERSION version is at 0.4.4 now
* GH_TAGNAME can be omitted by using "DISTVERSIONPREFIX=  v"
* GH_ACCOUNT is unnecessary as it is ${PORTNAME} by default
* Instead of a one-line pkg-plist file you can do PLIST_FILES= bin/urbit.

Comment 3 Richard Gallamore freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2017-09-01 18:04:32 UTC
One other thing, the COMMENT should be more or less a small description of the port. "An operating function" does not tell me much of anything and does not match up with the pkg-descr at all.
Comment 4 Yuri Victorovich freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2017-09-01 18:13:42 UTC
Dead OP. Is there a policy for that?
Comment 5 Richard Gallamore freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2017-09-01 18:20:49 UTC
(In reply to Yuri Victorovich from comment #4)
None that I know of. This port is not yet in the port tree and due to inactivity I don't see a problem with another user taking the port if they are interested.
Comment 6 Raymond Pasco 2017-09-01 23:58:07 UTC
Apologies for not replying sooner - I no longer work officially for this project so I would be happy for someone else to pick this up if they're interested.
Comment 7 Yuri Victorovich freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2018-02-20 23:19:30 UTC
The latest version of urbit has excessive bundling, use of internal headers, C++ header inclusion in C files. Will try, but not sure if this can be done easily.
Comment 8 Yuri Victorovich freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2018-06-02 20:23:09 UTC
This version is outdated, and the original submitter asked "for someone else to pick this up".

I will commit the current version of the urbit port soon.
