Travis-CI MacPorts

Travis-ci is great and allows you to test your GitHub projects on OSX. However, OSX images on Travis-ci only come with Homebrew installed. If, like me, you want to use MacPorts, you should install it on the fly everytime. For a few projects I am working on I copied scripts around. I decided to share here a generic script that could be used in multiple projects. The script is checked frequently on Travis-ci, so you should be able to see from the status image above whether it is working or not.

Installing MacPorts

Put the following commands in your .travis.yml file:

 - export COLUMNS=80
 - wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/GiovanniBussi/travis-ci-macports/master/install.macports
 - chmod +x ./install.macports
 - ./install.macports

If you prefer, you can directly include the ./install.macports file in your github repository. Setting the number of columns is required for MacPorts to be able to download some distfiles.

The ./install.macports script can be run with a few options:

 --prefix=/other/prefix
     Install MacPorts in a different location. Default is `/opt/local`.
 --source
     Install MacPorts from source (slower). It is implicit when
     using `--prefix` with a prefix different from `/opt/local`.
 --binary
     Install MacPorts from a pkg (faster, this is the default).
 --version=2.4.1
     Require a specific MacPorts version. Notice that
     MacPorts is anyway updated with a `selfupdate` command.

Using your local Portfiles

In case you just need ports to install tools that are used in your project, you are done. If you want to also setup a local Portfile repository to test your own Portfiles you might do the following:

 - wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/GiovanniBussi/travis-ci-macports/master/config.macports
 - chmod +x ./config.macports
 - ./config.macports path/to/port/dir

After this command, you will be able to install packages described in your local Portfiles. Notice that local Portfiles will take the precedence with respect to official Portfiles.
