[Gwyddion-users] Gwyddion version 2.48 in MacPorts

[Erika Callagon La Plante]

Hello,

I installed Gwyddion in Mac OS Sierra through MacPorts. The current
Gwyddion version is 2.45. How can I update to the latest version, 2.48?

Thanks!

Best,
Erika

I probably have to consider Rolf, who had been maintaining the MacPorts
port of Gwyddion for a long time, AWOL. The last time I actually got a
reply from him was in 2014. I do not know if anyone else is willing to
pick up the port maintenance (should be relatively low-stress) or what
happens if you just fill a request to update to a newer version in
MacPorts and there is no active maintainer. What I know is that if no
one is maintaining the port things will stall eventually.

So, this is not much of an answer, it is more a request for help.
Gwyddion is a project with long lifespan and maintainers of specific
ports and packages may come and go...

Hi, A long while back I made a bash script for making a macports build
of the most updated version of gwyddion. It's much more like a hack than
a real solution, but it works, as a workaround.
