ImageMagick Problem: Converting from PDF to EPS

2009-12-19T08:10:35Z

Hi,

I have a drawing in PDF, which is generated by PDFCreator from a Visio
drawing in Windows. When I convert it to eps using "convert a.pdf
a.eps", it looks like a low-resolution bitmap and the PDF's page size
is kept (i.e., there is a lot of white space). It used to be good,
i.e., the produced eps file looks as smooth as the original PDF file,
and the large white margin in the original PDF file is eliminated.
Does anyone have the same problem? Any clue where the problem is?
Since ImageMagick uses ghostscript to handle PDF/eps, it might be a
ghostscript problem as well...

I've confirmed my PDF file is OK, because the conversion goes well
when I use the ImagickMagick bundled with Ubuntu-8.04.

My configuration: Snow Leopard running in 32-bit mode, MacPorts-1.8.1,
ImageMagick @6.5.8-0_1+q16 (active), ghostscript @8.70_1 (active).

Best
Regards,

Xin Liu

what happens if you do the following while your 'tail' is running

gsed -i '1,100000d' log.log

assumes that there are 100,000 lines+ in log.log - assumes that you have processed the first 100,000 lines too.

-i "edit the file in place
'1,100000d' delete lines 1 through 100,000

I just nuked all of mysql, php, apache2, the whole MAMP stack, in
order to make sure I could reinstall, and then nuke it all again and
write a wiki page that outlines what I did.

I ran into issues again, did not doc them, as I assumed it would work
fine. I will do it again. You can also use `port contents portname
>> ~/Desktop/portfiles.txt`. I am sure there is a way to pass that
to xargs and send in rm -rf, or I just issue a find regex ^ replace
'rm -rf ' to get a command file that I can rip through to make sure I
delete everything. First I issue `sudo port uninstall portname` then
rip though the file to remove the leftovers.

I think on OS X, /etc/passwd is pretty useless. I mean, not entirely,
but none of my local user accounts are in it at all. I do not know a
lot about that part of the intervals of OS X.

Ahh, you found it, so there you have it, Record Name seems to accept

In looking at the portfiles I have ( `port edit mysql5` and port edit
mysql5-server` ), that does not seem to be the case.

mysql5-server:

depends_run \
port:mysql5

So the -server one seems to call out to the non server one, and the
server one more or less just instals the plist. It also adds some
users, which I am not sure it needs to do, as I seem to always recall
_mysql being available in a stock install, though I may not be thining
back far enough in OS versions.

I forgot the -server and just had mysql5 installed, so I went ahead
and did `port install mysql5-server` and it happened in seconds,
telling me it did not do a lot more than install the launchd plist.

Open them and compare, you can learn a lot from them.

That second link looks like the tests are really nice to have. I am
not seeing where they come from, and how to get them.

While my grep is not working as I want it to:
port contents mysql5 | grep -i opt.*\.pl
this is the only .pl file I get:
/opt/local/lib/mysql5/bin/ndb_size.pl
Event this does not turn up a lot:
port contents mysql5 | grep -i test

I wish my memory was better, this whole -p fiasco has a mysql but
ticket I reported against it many years back.

I would really suggest just going all MacPorts on the Apache and php
side of things. There was a bug in php5 a few months back. I can say
with a lot of confidence, MacPorts had a patch relesaed and ready for
the world before any other people had a chance to get it up and
running. Sure, if you did it by hand, but for those not interested in
that method, they were quick to react. It was serious enough, I
really did not want to go around to the hundreds of virtual hosts I
had and add a connection reference to the mysql close command to
prevent a crash.

Some may disagree with me on this one. For all the questions
phpMyadmin opens as being something to install via ports, I say, do
not install it via ports. It is going to depend on Apache, which
means you are getting that installed, and it is going to depend on
php5, which means you are getting that installed.

phpMyAdmin is a littel heavy for a DB admin tool, but it works, and
you can have it up and running in about 30 seconds after you download
it. 1) download, 2) copy into a servable location 3) edit
condig.sample.inc.php to config.php 4) add in random string and save
5) load the url, login with root and your password you set when
running the secure install script.

Myself, and many others are pretty aware of the state of the MacPorts
site, and have spoken at length about it, and how to improve it. We
never quite got past the part of, "whats next". I have all the emails
flagged, and there is a deeper more evil rooted reason it is important
to deal with as well.

It should get fixed, if and when I have more time, I will do
everything I can to help it be more navigable, as I tend to agree with
you.

Those instructions are somewhat dated I think, phpMyAdmin I believe
lets you chose cookie, auth, and some other form of authentication.
It defaults to cookie now, so you need not edit that, just set
$cfg['blowfish_secret'] = ''; /* YOU MUST FILL IN THIS FOR COOKIE
AUTH! */

mash the keyboard to whatever. You seem to be running this locally,
so there is not a heck of a lot of "security" you need to play. If
this was a production server with a public IP, I would play this
entirely different.

I never change a thing, you can just enter in a random string for the
blowfish secret.

Maybe you could copy and update the wiki page for that portion?

I think I mentioned that. You will sort of need to run `sudo port
install php5-mcrypt`, though phpMyAdmin will run without it, and just
a slight warning message to nag you at the bottom of the login screen.

I do not use those, they can come in handy, but it is not something I

the linked tables are good for.

A ton of work went into where php5 is today. ryandesign is the man
who deserves a ton of that credit, as of course, the rest of the
MacPorts guys, but his name is all over the php5 stuff. `port info
php5-* | grep -i ryandesign | wc -l` so 37 total to be more precise.

Have a good weekend.

Hm. Think I got confused; the above is intended for the initial
program's log, not your running log. (I would think your tail command
would become confused when the program's log is rewritten as you said
it was.)

"do the next thing only if the previous one succeeded", always a good
idea when the alternative is data loss.

Mind breaking that out for me?
If running_log is basically a live copy of another log, always being
written to, and a mv (rename) it, I assume that running_log.old still
gets written to? The OS keeps writing my tail command to it, even
though the name has changed?

Then the double && which seems a AND operator to me, never seen it in
this use case before. Next up, you crate a file running_log, which
will be empty, and shove the running_log.old contents into the
stale.log. I think I need to rm running_log.old as well?

But this all depends on the tail command continuing to write to a log
file even though it has been renamed. I assume this is near always
the case, which is why I generally have to sleep apache on a log roll,
and let those last open connections clean themselves up?

I will do a few little tests, thanks for the pointers.

Yes. mysql_install_db5 populates those directories. And the server creates the log file as soon as it is launched, so they were definitely not empty.

Now I see what you mean about the difference between client and server install ... !

However, if you look at mysql.com they mention, apparently, /usr/local/mysql-test -- as where the test suite installs.

/usr/local apparently being the default installation directory for the server.

http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/configure-options.html

"The first command changes the installation prefix so that everything is installed under /usr/local/mysql
rather than the default of /usr/local. The second command preserves the default installation prefix, but
overrides the default location for database directories (normally /usr/local/var) and changes it to"

BTW -- I just noticed that the man page is mysqladmin, while the binary is mysqladmin5.

The difference in syntax between the two commands above is the "-p" which appears to be logically correct at first, but unable
to be parsed because the [command-arg] is missing -- but with the space following the "-p" causing the password prompt AND
acting as a delimiter -- one of those "unintended consequences", followed by another [command] "password"
... I hate unix for allowing such things - drives me nuts!

"-p" being the command and the space being the command option, followed by another command "password" an the new-password string, which need not be quoted!

--password[=password], -p[password]

The password to use when connecting to the server. If you use the short option form (-p), you cannot have a
space between the option and the password. If you omit the password value following the --password or -p option
on the command line, you are prompted for one.

So if you were to change the syntax in the install output to be:

/opt/local/lib/mysql5/bin/mysqladmin -u root -p password <new-password>

It is the same syntax as the MAMP command example.

I've been using Apple's Apache2 (2.2.13) and php (5.3.0) installations, editing the config file to fire up php.

Will have to try phpMyAdmin -- just discovered it on the MAMP page. I've led a sheltered life since I retired in 2002. :)

Which reminds me, totally OT ... finding that MAMP WIKI page is like pulling teeth -- there is no (obvious) link to it off the main macports.org page... took "forever" to realize
the organization of the site... I'm having the same issue with mysql.org's on-line manual. Of course, now that I know where things are, it's all "quite obvious."
... ghads its taking twice as long to install phpmyadmin than to install mysql!
... hmm.. I notice that this installs perl 5.8.9, while Apple has perl 5.10 darwin-thread-multi-2level.

Some of my phpMyAdmins are public facing, and while they are http auth protected, and SSL'd, I still do not like giving away 50% of the login data.

The instructions in MAMP tell you to look for 3 lines... auth_type/user/password... only the first one exists -- auth_type.
It doesn't mention editing the "secret key."

Based on the config file, I assume that you either create the secret key and leave "cookie" as auth_type, or ADD the other two lines
"user" and "password" if you change the auth_type to "config."

Note: the "Documentation.html" file in phpmyadmin describes the "cookie" vs "config" better than the MAMP page.

Interestingly, when phpMyAdmin first loaded, it complained it could not load "mcrypt"
[Cannot load mcrypt extension. Please check your PHP configuration.]

"port list active" does not show mycrypt (nothing shows as inactive).

sudo port deps phpmyadmin
Full Name: phpmyadmin @3.2.3
Runtime Dependencies: php5-gd, php5-mbstring, php5-mcrypt, php5-mysql, php5-zip

Other than that, it runs correctly...I guess...
[Additional features for working with linked tables have been deactivated.....]
At this point, I don't even know what a "linked table" is, so I'm assuming I don't need to be concerned.

At any rate, the particular application I was trying to activate -- lotroster -- now works with MySql.

Again, I'm using Apple's Apache with macports php5, mysql and phpmyadmin installations.

>> Hope this helps.

IMMENSELY !!!!

Thank you! And hopefully, my comments will help someone else in the future.

Without macports, I know personally from the early days of the ARPAnet and the Internet, what a painful process installing complex software is.

OT: cat and tail

2009-12-18T20:02:18Z

Totally ot, but it may end up in software that I put in a port, so
here goes:

An app makes a log file, I have no control over it other than it is
there, the developer is non responsive to change.

I run a script that does this
tail -f -n0 /path/to/log.log >> /path/to/log/running_log
The problem is, the log.log grows, it will get chopped in half by the
app at a point in size I define, I set mine pretty high. I want to
get those log lines in MySql, parsing 100MB files is not fun.
So I run the tail line, which grabs a copy of log in real time, as it
comes in. I was doing this next:
# make a copy of the file and also clear it cd /path/to/ cat
running_log > stale_log && echo "" > running_log
Problem here, is I toss the cat into the bg, and who knows how long
that can take, then I clear the running_log, but cat could still be
chewing on it.
If I remove tossing it in the background, that helps a little, I will
cat the file into a new log, which will be just the new tail'd data,
and then clear it so it can start all over. I then have stale_log to
process later.
However, there is a chance, also, that while the cat is going on, new
log lines are also being added as well. I have considered, echo
"unique-marker" >> running_log and then finding a way to only copy the
lines before "unique-marker", but that seems messy, and I bet there is
a handy one liner that can pull this off.
Thanks for any pointers, if the unique-marker is the way to go,
suggestions on how to do that would be appreciated as well.

The long and winding road to DigiKam (1.0 rc)

2009-12-18T11:39:14Z

The following text was originally written as a private message to Ryan
Schmidt, but he said it might be interesting for the rest of the
MacPorts users community as well. So here it comes (with only minor
modifications):

I had a few problems installing "digikam-devel", but it is working now!

First there was a problem activating "qt4-mac", but I did not record
the exact output. Just repeating the "port install digikam-devel" did
the job. So never mind that.

Second I encountered a checksum error, which is a known issue (albeit
supposed to be fixed, but maybe more could be done?):
http://trac.macports.org/ticket/21144

Finally I had a problem with my case-sensitive file-system - again!
Because of my own bug report the Portfile for kdegraphics4-4.2.4 was
modified five months back: http://trac.macports.org/ticket/20313
Now with kdegraphics4-4.3.4 I have the reverse problem: the Portfile
says "QTCrypto", but the directory on my hard disk is called
"QtCrypto". Ah, I see, there has been a change to qca... so let's get
kdegraphics4 changed too: http://trac.macports.org/ticket/22941

By the way: I "patched" my MacPorts to use gcc-4.2 on Leopard, the way
Ryan Schmidt advised against about 1.5 years ago:
http://lists.macosforge.org/pipermail/macports-dev/2008-June/005423.html
But I thought by now ports should be tested mainly with gcc-4.2 anyway,
and it seems to work.

The system I used to compile everything was a G4 PowerBook with a 1 GHz
CPU and 1 GByte RAM. I started with a fresh install of MacPorts about
two weeks ago. Total compile time was probably three of four days. It
took from Sunday to Friday (with five interruptions of different
lengths) from "port install digikam-devel" till I could actually start
DigiKam - but I did not have to spend a lot of time with the system to
get this far, about two hours maybe.

I currently just can't install gimp via MacPorts due to problems with
the "atlas" port, which gimp seems to depend upon. Other PPC users have
simillar issues, though: https://trac.macports.org/ticket/22378

With the "nouveau" Linux graphics driver for NVidia cards improving I
might switch back to Linux as my main operating system some time next
year, but for the months to come I'll continue being a MacPorts user.

Regards,
Vlado

I have been meaning to do a start from scratch install on a clean
system and write up some new install notes, just have not had time.
Let me see if I can answer some of your issues...

Yes, that installs the launchd item that will start it all the time.

I would guess, that because at some point, you did some work in MySql,
or something changed about those directories. If they are not empty,
it is my understanding, ports is not going to remove them. They very
well may have important data in them.

Same for 10.4 up I believe, you can use them rather interchangeably.
If you look in httpd.conf (Apache) you can see the user is set to
"User www" but "User _www" will work just fine as well. I think the
general idea is use the underscore ones for under uid 500 stuff, and
the normal ones for over uid 500 stuff. If you look at the database
of where the user id's are stored, you will see they are "aliased" to
be equivalent. At least, that is my take on it, I could be wrong.

They all end up the same, take this test case:
$mkdir -p ~/Desktop/test; cd ~/Desktop/test
$touch file1
$touch file2
$ls -la
-rw-r--r-- 1 me staff 0 Dec 17 19:04 file1
-rw-r--r-- 1 me staff 0 Dec 17 19:04 file2

$sudo chown mysql file1
$sudo chown _mysql file2

$ls -la
-rw-r--r-- 1 _mysql staff 0 Dec 17 19:04 file1
-rw-r--r-- 1 _mysql staff 0 Dec 17 19:04 file2

Maybe a valid point, but I think there are two different terms for
activating. It is activating the port, which it has done. It is not
making any claim to "loading the server" or "starting the server". It
is a little confusing, but in most cases, there are not launchd items
to deal with, and it makes sense in those cases.

MacPorts does not like operating outside of it's prefix, this is a
great thing. However, there are places, like /etc/pam.d and the
system and user LaunchDaemons and LaunchAgents that simply can not run
inside the MacPorts prefix.

Macports is as clean as I can think it can be, with a symblink in this
case.

Actually, getting a little OT here, why are there mysql5 and mysql5-
server ports? If they are identical other than the launchd item, how
about just ui messaging a statement that says "if you want to run this
as a server, cp and load the file with these instructions..."

That should be printed when the port is installed, which last I tried
it was what I saw, did you not get that result? If you did not start
it, then that may explain why you are not able to run some of the
commands below.

You are missing an l in "mysq-test", though I too do not have those
files or dirs.

All I have are man pages as well.

[snip...]

You can also run `port contents mysql5` or `port contents mysql5-
server` and see what was installed, which gives me this:
http://pastie.org/748235

I too, also see missing files, though I believe the files are not
missing, and some general cleanup needs to be done. In all my mysql
installs, I have never seen those files as test files.

Good questions, I would like to know the difference in mysqladmin in /
opt/local/lib/mysql5/bin and mysqladmin5 in /opt/local/lib/mysql5/bin
and how we can clean this all up.

This seems to be a documentation issue, and a port layout issue.
`mysqladmin` should work, it has a man page that goes with it, and is
how you generally do this on a not MacPorts install. So far, I do not
believe you have done anything wrong, but this is getting rather
confusing.

If I get a spare moment, I will look at the port file(s) and see if I
can see what is happening.

When you now you have a 'server' type app running, you have to just
know to unload the launchd item first. You have a few options, brute
force it with a reboot, the plist will not be there anymore, and it
will not be able to load

Run `sudo launchctl list`
You will get back a few things;
$sudo launchctl list | grep -i mysql
Password:
143 - 0x10c110.mysqld
143 - 0x10b180.mysqld
93 - org.macports.mysql5

* If someone could explain items 143 to me, would love to know about
those.

But you can also remove/start/stop by label, which you now know. I
like label better, easier to remember, no paths to fiddle with. From
the man page:
( `man launchctl` )

remove job_label
Remove the job from launchd
by label.

start job_label
Start the specified job by
label. The expected use of
this subcommand is for
debugging and testing so
that one can manually
kick-start an on-demand
server.

stop job_label
Stop the specified job by
label. If a job is on-demand,
launchd may immediately
restart the job if launchd
finds any criteria that is
satisfied. Non-demand based
jobs will always be restarted.
Use of this subcommand is
discouraged. Jobs should
ideally idle timeout by them-
selves.

So I think in your case something like
sudo launchctl remove org.macports.mysql5
( * Note the lack of the .plist in the name, we are removing by label
here, which may not always match the filename, though in 99.999% of
the cases, they do )

The server continues to run, even though most of the files are gone,
because that is how computers work :) Run an app, it is loaded into
memory. I could sudo rm -rf /Application_/Mail.app and keep writing
you this email, and all would be well, probably for a longer time than
you would ever suspect.

A nice story was once told about how a mis-placed rm -rf got caught
about 90% to completion, but a shell was open, with very little
access. Since so much stuff was still in memory, a lot of work was
still able to be done, and even an backup was restored, sans a reboot
I believe.

MySql for you, is still running, because MacPorts removed what it
could, but all your data files and pids and the rest are allowing it
to live on. Brave (I mean stupid) people use this to their advantage
to wildly update php5 on a production server :)

Pretty sure we got this covered, to the best of my personal knowledge.

Once you get it up and running, I assume you have apache2 up and
running. I also am going to assume you have php5 up and running. Do
a `sudo port install php5-mcrypt`, this is needed by phpMyAdmin.
Restart Apache.

Load up http://localhost and you should see "It works!", this is
served out by the path:
/opt/local/apache2/htdocs/

Download phpMyAdmin, rename it it something easier to type, like "p"
and drop in in
/opt/local/apache2/htdocs/p/

Edit the config file, you need only edit one line, the secret key
value, and if this is a local box, don't worry too much about it.

Hit up http://localhost/p
It will ask you to login, use root and your password. Then go into
the permissions. I usually, on a production machine, set all access
to localhost when adding new users. I will update the root username
to a username I like *instead* of root. Some of my phpMyAdmins are
public facing, and while they are http auth protected, and SSL'd, I
still do not like giving away 50% of the login data.

> Time to break down and RTFM.

I think you did pretty good with what you had. Sounds like you are
going along just fine. This list is here to help, this is my favorite
list for the great people here.

Hope this helps.

I'll let you folks make the changes as I don't feel confident enough in my conclusions, since this is my first time through.

Ok... Installing mysql-server apparently was the big thing.

Had to completely remove (not just port uninstall) the macports MySql5 installation including:
/opt/local/etc/mysql5
/opt/local/var/db/mysql5
/opt/local/var/run/
to start over again.

Miscellaneous things I've noticed...
1- MAMP ... Under Snow Leopard, the pre-existing userid/groupid for mysql is "_mysql" -- note the preceding underscore.

However, the script: "sudo -u mysql mysql_install_db5" does correctly set the ownership permissions on the files mentioned in the next 3 lines
(to "_mysql", not "mysql")

2- The install script "port install myql5-server" ends with
---> Activating mysql5-server @5.1.41_0
but does, in fact NOT activate the server -- the comment earlier in the script,

###########################################################
# A startup item has been generated that will aid in
# starting mysql5-server with launchd. It is disabled
# by default. Execute the following command to start it,
# and to cause it to launch at startup:
#
# sudo launchctl load -w /Library/LaunchDaemons/org.macports.mysql5.plist
###########################################################

should probably be output at that point.

3- in the output from "sudo -u _mysql mysql_install_db5" is the comment:

"You can test the MySQL daemon with mysql-test-run.pl
cd /opt/local/mysql-test ; perl mysql-test-run.pl"

except that the directory "/opt/local/mysq-test" does not exist nor does the perl script.

HOWEVER, There is a man page for "mysql-test-run.pl"
(Note: there is also a man page for "mysql-test-run.pl" also exists, but no script)

4- One thing which I don't understand (may just be my lack of MySQL knowledge) is why the commands...
(from the install output)

/opt/local/lib/mysql5/bin/mysqladmin -u root password 'new-password'
/opt/local/lib/mysql5/bin/mysqladmin -u root -h shianbrae.mcgillsociety.org

both fail...
/opt/local/lib/mysql5/bin/mysqladmin -u root password 'xxx'
/opt/local/lib/mysql5/bin/mysqladmin: connect to server at 'localhost' failed
error: 'Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO)'

If you try to run them a second time.

but the command: mysqladmin5 -u root -p password <new-password>
from the MAMP does work, prompting you for the existing password.

=====================================================================================

5- if you "sudo port uninstall mysql5-server"
It claims :

---> Deactivating mysql5-server @5.1.41_0
---> Uninstalling mysql5-server @5.1.41_0

But the server continues to run. And, since the plist file is now gone, you can't "unload" it...
sudo launchctl unload -w /Library/LaunchDaemons/org.macports.mysql5.plist
launchctl: Couldn't stat("/Library/LaunchDaemons/org.macports.mysql5.plist"): No such file or directory
nothing found to unload -- and, naturally, you can't kill it because Launchd will respawn it, forcing a reboot

=====================================================================================

So, the short is, I have the server working (accordng to the MAMP page) and now have to figure out how to
authorize users!

Time to break down and RTFM.

Which easy_install? You don't want to install into the macports prefix
without registering the files with macports anyway.

Python 2.6 pkg_resources.DistributionNotFound error

2009-12-17T16:42:10Z

Hi,

I'm having a problem with macports on SnowLeopard regarding python 2.6 ports. For several of them like ipython, virtualenv and virtualenvwrapper I'm getting a "pkg_resources.DistributionNotFound: <package>" error.

Maybe I've done something wrong with my python 2.6 install but I've just used sudo port install python26 and then sudo python_select to use macports' python2.6 and not Apple's.

I don't get the error since other python packages like py26-pil and py26-psycopg2 are working correctly.

Another thing I don't get is why when I'm using easy_install packages are being installed in the "old" Apple's site-packahe (/Library/Python/2.6/site-packages) and not macports' one.

Thanks for your help.

segfault with python/numpy array multiplication

2009-12-17T13:58:08Z

I am experiencing a segmentation fault when running the following script
using Macports python + numpy:

#!/usr/bin/env python
"""
segfaults with numpy.dot for reasonably sized arrays
"""
import numpy as np
n = 60
B = np.dot( np.random.rand(n,n), np.random.rand(n,n+1))
print(B.shape)

The segfault occurs at the matrix multiplication ('dot') line for n >
51. This runs fine on an Ubuntu system. Multiplying square matrices
also works fine from what I can tell. I am using py25-numpy on Tiger
(10.4.11). Can anyone else reproduce this in macports? I wonder if
there is a bug with some dependency or whatnot, maybe atlas.

Thanks,
Jonathan

You need to use the gfortran variant. So you can run the following:

Sounds like either you got a corrupted version of the page somehow (in which case you should clear the cache and try again, but I don't know how to clear the cache on MobileSafari), or like Brandon said there is an http proxy between our web server and your iPhone, possibly managed by your cell carrier. You could tell us who your carrier is, so others with that carrier could try it. You could also try figuring out how the HTML source of our page differs on your iPhone vs. on a computer (but I don't know how you would view a page's source on MobileSafari). But ultimately if it is a proxy messing with our source, that proxy needs to be fixed or bypassed, which is outside our control.

Re: qt4-mac does not build

2009-12-16T15:43:43Z

Hello everyone,

thanks for your replies and sorry for my delay, I did not have web access for the last few days.

The suggestion about the conflict between qt4-mac and kdelibs4 solved the issue insofar as I was, indeed, able to successfully build qt4-mac. However, since the update, digikam (the application that is the reason I need QT in the first place) does not start any more, and I am not sure how to diagnose this.

Is it correct, for a Macports project, to "cd into" the app bundle and launch the executable from a shell in order to get at the error messages? Or does this introduce further problems?

Many thanks again,

Jürgen

It is actually www.macports.org

Now that I am at home, I can see that from the desktop, macports site is visible.
From my iPhone though, it is not.

I suspect it has to do with some settings about mobile devices, since I am browsing through my carriers network, not through wifi.
Although most sites ignore this, others understand it and use a special stylesheet and others (like macports) break :)

A url is usually a nice addition to this type of question.

I'm browsing macports with success with Safari on both my iMac and iPhone.

Submit a new port

I have created a new port (actually for launch4j)

What should I do to send it to macports?
