Since Bob is already on macports, the update of each package in this repository is a bit painful. Basically for each package update we are supposed regenerate the Portfile (the installation instructions for the macports) and open a ticket on macports attaching the diff between this new Portfile with the current.

Would be awesome to have a step on new_version.py script to the that for us

The steps are the following (I will use the package py-bob-blitz as a reference) 1 - Download the current Portfile from the macports official repository (http://svn.macports.org/repository/macports/trunk/dports/python/py-bob- blitz/Portfile) 2 - Update the line that corresponds the version (line 11 in this example) 3 - Update the line that corresponds the github tag (line 27 in this example) 4 - Download the tarball (last tag) from github (bob.blitz in this case) 5 - Generate sha256 and the rmd160 checksums 6 - Update the line that corresponds with the checksums (lines 34 and 35 in this example) 7 - Save this Portfile in a new file 8 - Generate the diff of this new Portfile with the original one

I think it is doable
