We don't use it because it's currently broken (ie, the -variants
that are selected aren't stored, so when you go to upgrade the
port, it doesn't keep the same variant selection. Meanwhile, the
+variants are stored, so things 'work' when you do an upgrade).
But as said, port info should show default variants. And they
could be
also marked (with a star or something) in port variants.
That seems like a good idea. You want to submit a patch? :)
There is something else.
Right now, gimp2 has
python24
without_gnome
without_python
To follow your (rainer's) logic, gimp2 would then have
python24
python25
gnome
with gnome and python25 both as default.
Is this possible with the current implementation?
Next, let's say I want python24, then I will have to do
port install gimp2 +python24 +gnome
If I don't want gnome I'll have to do
port install gimp2 +python25
The point is that internals and default become less transparant and
more complex for the user.
Many might do "-gnome" and miss python or "python24" and miss
gnome ... That is the problem with default variants.
