Seeking guidance on submitting several new Python-based ports
Date: Wed, 18 Oct 2023 08:16:01 UTC
Hi there, I have been working with Snowflake, dbt, and duckdb for the past several months. I have created 12 new ports in support of this. I've read Porter's Handbook a bunch, as well as Python Ports wiki page, and have taken this porting work as far as I can for the time being. I would like to get some guidance on how to submit these, as well as any feedback on changes I should make before submitting them. I have a draft PR on GitHub to store my changes: https://github.com/patmaddox/freebsd-ports/pull/5/ Is it reasonable to submit several ports as part of one PR? For my purposes, there are a handful of "leaf" ports: - databases/py-dbt-duckdb - databases/py-dbt-snowflake - databases/py-schemachange - databases/py-snowddl Primary supporting ports are: - databases/py-dbt-core (used by py-dbt-*) - databases/py-snowflake-connector-python (used by py-dbt-snowflake, py-schemachange, and py-snowddl) So on one extreme, I have to submit each port, one-at-a-time, in order. On the other extreme, I submit all 12 in one PR. How should I go about submitting these new ports? Also, should I stay as the maintainer, or should I change them to python@freebsd.org because they are Python ports? Thanks, Pat
