Macports

JReleaser can generate and publish a Macports Portfile into a repository that you have access to. This packager generates port file and publishes it to a repository of your choice. However, it’s your responsibility to update the official https://github.com/macports/macports-ports/ with a PR of your own.

As a reference JReleaser publishes its release using a GitHub workflow triggered on every push to the main branch of jreleaser/jreleaser-macports.

The macports section specifies how the Portfile should be created.

The following artifact extensions are supported by this packager:

  • .zip

  • .dmg

Tokens

The repository token environment variable must match with the chosen Release service.

On GitHub, you can’t use the default secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN as this token only works for the repository that’s running the workflow. You must configure a Personal Access Token (PAT) instead. It is recommended that you use "fine-grained" PATs, rather than "classic" ones. The token must have:

  • Access to your tap repository; if this repository is part of a GitHub organization, make sure to choose that organization as the resource owner; if that organization doesn’t show up in the "resource owner" drop-down, contact your organization adminstrator and ask them to enable PAT access for that repository

  • The "Contents read and write" repository permission

DownloadURL

JReleaser follows these rules to find the download URL to use for a given artifact:

  1. if artifact.extraProperties.macportsDownloadUrl exists, use it.

  2. if artifact.extraProperties.downloadUrl exists, use it.

  3. if explicit downloadUrl is set on macports, use it.

  4. if distribution.extraProperties.macportsDownloadUrl exists, use it.

  5. if distribution.extraProperties.downloadUrl exists, use it.

  6. if releaser.${release}.skipRelease is false then use the releaser’s downloadUrl.

  7. if releaser.${release}.skipRelease is true then look for a matching uploader given an extraProperty named downloadUrlFrom on artifact, distribution, `macports (in that order). The value must be <uploaderType>:<uploaderName> such as "artifactory:app" or "s3:uploads".

  8. fail if no suitable URL is found.

With no extra configuration from your side rule 6. will be chosen which is the suitable default that most projects need.

Example

Assuming the current version is 1.2.3, and a distribution named app, the above configuration will generate a ports/devel/app/Porfile file in the duke/macports repository:

# -*- coding: utf-8; mode: tcl; tab-width: 4; indent-tabs-mode: nil; c-basic-offset: 4 -*- vim:fenc=utf-8:ft=tcl:et:sw=4:ts=4:sts=4

AppName

JReleaser calculates the value of the containing app directory when packaging a Native Package distribution for macOs and a .dmg file. The default value matches {{distributionName}}.app. If a different value were to be needed then set the appName extra property on the macports packager. This property accepts Name Templates.

Templates

The default location for templates is:

src/jreleaser/distributions/<distribution-name>/macports

The following list shows the filenames that may be used to override default templates:

  • Portfile.tpl

Any additional files found in the template directories will be copied as is unless their filename ends with .tpl in which case Name Templates substitution will take place.

Templates may be initialized using the template command

Skip Templates

You may skip any template files by defining a set of skip rules in the skipTemplates property. For example, you may use any of these expressions to skip a template named README.md.tpl:

  • README.md.tpl: matches the full template name

  • README.md: matches the transformed template name

  • README.*: matches using a regex

Skip Artifacts

If there is more than one matching artifact in a given distribution you may add a skipMacports extra property to the target artifact to mark it as skipped for packaging with macports.

Skip License

If there’s a matching LICENSE file available at the root of the project it will be copied to the repository by default. You may set an extra property named skipLicenseFile on macports to skip this behavior.

Publication to Macports

You are responsible for submitting a ticket to MacPorts for updating an existing port of adding a new port. JReleaser does not create a ticket nor a pull request for you.

Please consult the MacPorts guide to know more.

Repository

The repository section allows setting extra properties that may be used to provide additional hints when interacting with the git repository that holds packager files.

GitLab

Define a projectIdentifier property to directly locate the project associated with the repository, such as

  • YAML

  • TOML

  • JSON

  • Maven

  • Gradle

packagers:
  macports:
    repository:
      extraProperties:
        projectIdentifier: 12345678
[packagers.macports]
  repository.extraProperties.projectIdentifier = "12345678"
{
  "packagers": {
    "macports": {
      "repository": {
        "extraProperties": {
          "projectIdentifier": "12345678"
        }
      }
    }
  }
