            Bug ID: 247099
           Summary: editors/micro port needs update
           Product: Ports & Packages
           Version: Latest
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Only Me
          Priority: ---
         Component: Individual Port(s)

The editors/micro port is still on 1.4.1, while 2.0.4 is released. I tried =
to
make the necessary Makefile changes myself but gave up; I'm a novice at por=
ting
and there are some difficulties involved with this change. This Github issue
provides some background: https://github.com/zyedidia/micro/issues/1711

The project uses gmake internally, and its Makefile requires being in the G=
it
repository to determine version information. Currently, the port seems to w=
ork
by ignoring the project's Makefile and doing the build itself, inserting the
-ldflags, but I don't believe this is the right approach. It would require
duplicating code between the two Makefiles (and also the port Makefile
currently hardcodes the build date as August 9 2018, which is silly - the
project's Makefile runs a Go script that determines the actual date).

I couldn't make a patch myself because I couldn't figure out how to make it
clone the repository instead of just downloading an archive.
