I'm in a normalizing mood.
I found out that
87 ports use variant darwin
10 ports use variant puredarwin
10 ports use variant freebsd
3 ports use variant powerpc
3 ports use variant x86
Don't forget 2 ports that use "variant macosx". Oops, one of those
is mine...
Now, that should be "platform", shouldn't it ?
Should I go on and change everything ?
All except "variant x86", probably yes...
As for "variant x86", the correct syntax would be "platform i386",
wouldn't it? I don't see any ports with "platform x86", and nobody
with an Intel Mac is currently automatically getting a variant
called "x86", as far as I know. And since those users are not
complaining, I must conclude that whatever is in the x86 variant is
not in fact necessary for Intel Macs, and may in fact be harmful.
So each of the x86 variants should be specifically examined and
only retained if found to still be necessary. I mean, up until not
too long ago, the only way to use MacPorts on an x86 processor was
to use an OS other than Mac OS X, right?
Mmm i386 is for intel, sure. But x86 targets a wider set of
platforms (intel and AMD). So I always saw i386 as a subset of x86.
Am I far off ?
