[issue:204] Re: TLContrib packages into MacPorts?

[Mojca Miklavec]

Hi,

I took a look. First of all, it is quite annoying that you are
distributing files of super tiny size in different packages. Isn't
there a way to package both archives together? (There is a workaround
to copy from one folder to another, but it's a bit annoying.)

Here's the log from my attempt:

cjk-gs-integrate [WARNING]: The program 'otfinfo' not found in PATH.
cjk-gs-integrate [WARNING]: Sorry, we can't be safe enough to distinguish
cjk-gs-integrate [WARNING]: uppercase / lowercase file names.
cjk-gs-integrate: reading font database ...
cjk-gs-integrate [WARNING]: Cannot find cjkgs-morisawa-extra.dat, skipping!
cjk-gs-integrate: checking for files ...
cjk-gs-integrate: searching for Ghostscript resource
cjk-gs-integrate: output is going to /opt/local/share/ghostscript/9.23/Resource
cjk-gs-integrate: generating links and snippets for CID fonts ...
cjk-gs-integrate: generating links, snippets and cidfmap.local for
non-CID fonts ...
cannot open /opt/local/share/ghostscript/9.23/Resource/Font/AppleGothic-Adobe-Korea1-0
for writing: Permission denied at cjk-gs-integrate.pl line 911.

I found otfinfo in lcdf-typetools. I can add an additional dependency
on that one.
I have no idea why it is complaining about cjkgs-morisawa-extra.dat

But most important, it would be super helpful if something like
DESTDIR parameter / env. variable would be supported, so that the
generated files would go to $(DESTDIR)
/opt/local/share/ghostscript/9.23/Resource/Font/ instead of directly
to  /opt/local/share/ghostscript/9.23/Resource/Font/.

I don't want to hardcode the link to 9.23 ghoscript either since that
is doomed to fail, sooner or later.
