I checked into base last night (http://trac.macosforge.org/
projects/macports/changeset/25147), some code to support variant
descriptions.
The syntax I chose was the following:
variant myvariant description "This variant does this and that" {
configure.args-append --do-this --do-that
}
I'd love to get feedback both on the syntax. The syntax is a
little bit different because it requires quoting of the
description string -- something we don't often use in portfiles.
Please give feedback on whether you like this, or whether we
should use a syntax like this:
variant myvariant {
configure.args-append --do-this --do-that
}
variant_description myvariant This variant does this and that
(which doesn't need quoting of the description).
Secondly, in order to emit the description in port info, I
expanded the variant section to show a single variant per line,
which makes info a bit longer. Please let me know if you like
this, or if we should limit ourselves to showing variant
descriptions in "port variants" instead.
I don't know about the code works, but I would like the third
untold solution :
variant myvariant {
configure.args-append --do-this --do-that
description This variant does this and that
}
Yves,
Yes, good idea. As Kevin also pointed out, it's a bit complicated by
the fact that to evaluate this we'd have to execute the variant,
which probably isn't good.
