Amber: Proposal for the MacPorts work

[faustinoaq]

Description

By @conradwt on https://github.com/amberframework/amber/pull/879#issuecomment-399508039

Should I create another issue or proposal for the MacPorts work and someone can simply assign that task to me?

I should be able to create it over the weekend as the work week only allowed for light MacPorts research and it appears to be a straight forward process.

Steps to Reproduce

Not applicable (not a bug)

Versions

Amber v0.8.0 (Yay! :tada: )

Additional Information

What is MacPorts?

The MacPorts Project is an open-source community initiative to design an easy-to-use system for compiling, installing, and upgrading either command-line, X11 or Aqua based open-source software on the Mac operating system.

@faustinoaq I was able to submit an Amber PR to the MacPorts team. However, it seems that the Amber CLI only needs a subset of the Amber web framework code. Do you think that the Makefile installs too many shards for the CLI to work at this time? For example, snippet from the installation of the amber port on my system:

What do you think? This many only require a few tweaks to the Makefile because one tends to do the following:

1) create an Amber app

2) cd into the apps directory

3) install shards

I was thinking that step (3) could be performed automatically based on the options provided in step (1). Just thinking out load here.
