py-tables 1.4 no longer works - new Portfile for version 2.0

[oddsimons@…]

I have tried to install python/py-tables currently at 1.4. It will not install. The complaints from compilation seems to be related to the fact that dependency hdf5 has moved on, and pytables at sourceforge is abandoned at 1.4 - no further updates can be expected there.

pytables is now at http://www.pytables.org for 2.0 and onwards, and so is their repo and new downloads.

I have made an updated Portfile that works for 2.0 - it is essentially a modified and cleaned version of the 1.4 pointing to the new location. It is attached to this ticket, and installs and works fine as far as I can tell. Note that I do not have previous experience with port files, so please review it well :-)

Portfile for py-tables v. 2.0

[mww@…]

The new Portfile looks well at first sight; for traceability of ports over time though, we need a 'diff' -- which currently is like "all is different"; I'd happily commit the update if you supply a usable diff

diff -u Portfile Portfile.new

which has a minimum number of lines -- though minimum isn't meant in the strong mathematical way ;)

py-tables 2.0.1 portfile

[oddsimons@…]

Diff from version 1.4 (current) to 2.0.1. Sorry that the diff looks a bit unhelpful - I cleaned it for tabs->spaces etc. as I learned my way around my first Portfile...

[mww@…]

Thats the point -- you totally changed the whitespaces so someone reading the diff afterwards has no idea what exactly was changed. Please provide a reasonable diff next time.

I've update py-tables to 2.0.2;
