Make available via MacPorts

I would love to see this package available in MacPorts.

Was going to make a start on packaging this, but it doesn't appear that the project is maintained anymore?

MacPorts ticket requesting this port is 65216, displayplacer 1.2.0: new port for displayplacer software. MacPorts users, consider watching that ticket and making suggestions there.

I've added it. You can now install displayplacer on macOS with MacPorts.

If you want anything else added to MacPorts, file a ticket with MacPorts rather than with the upstream developer who need not be involved with the process.

@aaiezza @harens @JDLH @ryandesign Can you update the MacPorts package from v1.2.0 to v1.4.0 for me?

[JDLH]

@jakehilborn Thank you for the new release. I have created a MacPorts ticket #67611 displayplacer 1.4.0: update port to upstream's 1.4.0 to request the update.

As the developer, how do you want to notify distributions (like MacPorts) of new versions? You shouldn't have to make comments in ad hoc GitHub issues for each distribution. I believe the normal MacPorts workflow is to wait until an end user notices that a MacPorts port is behind the upstream version, and to file the MacPorts ticket requesting the update. Thus we are reactive to end-users. Is there a proactive workflow that you would prefer, as upstream?

[ryandesign]

MacPorts users can file tickets requesting updates, but ideally port maintainers periodically run the "livecheck" function for all their ports to proactively discover available updates.
