FreeBSD Port: engrampa-1.8.0

[Dave Babb]

Good Afternoon All,

The Mate metaport, and more specifically the engrampa port is broken. 
The issue is a bad package name. And I have a solution.

The build stops at gobject-introspection. Specifically 
"py27-gobject-2.*...This package is in reality named py-gobject.

If I manually build py-gobject first, then build engrampa...the build of 
engrampa proceeds flawlessly, then I can build the rest of Mate.

Here is what is weird. "pkg search" shows up the very name of the 
package this port is calling for spelled with "py27-gobject". While 
"whereis py-gobject" faile stating that this port is not found. Yet in 
reality, once I cd into /usr/ports/devel....I see that "py-gobject" does 
indeed exist...just not under py27-gobject.


So "pkg" shows it under the old name of "py27-gobject", but in reality 
it isn't there.....Seems like there is a package naming problem between 
the ports, packages, and the build script for engrampa.

May I request that you kindly look into it for me?

I do systems provisioning and build desktops (currently for the City of 
Simla, Colorado)....and fixing the build script would save me some time. 
We are changing the entire cities infrastructure out to FreeBSD on the 
server, and FreeBSD/Mate on the desktop. This issue prevents my 
automated build/install script from performing the installs in a 
hands/off manner.

Thank you for your time in maintaining the Mate port. I do appreciate 
it. It is the easiest desktop for me to teach Windows now on FreeBSD.

Sincerely and respectfully,


Dave Babb
