Having to specify "-ssl +gnutls" is stupid. The way I see it,
"ssl" and "gnutls" are two radio buttons. To select the radio
button you want, you shouldn't also have to manually deselect the
radio button you don't want. It should be automatic. Fixed the
lynx port so it behaves this way, in r33752. (No new portfile
syntax needed. :))
Well, I just wanted to say how it is done until now. Indeed, your
fix is a good thing as it also fixes the issues with upgrading.
Anyways, I was just talking about how we would write this "radio
button choice" in a new syntax where default_variants will be gone.
default_variants functionality should not be removed. It is
necessary. When there are two or more conflicting options, one of
which must be selected, it is more intuitive for the user if these
are both expressed as variants, one of which is enabled by default.
See lynx, minivmac, pdftk, etc.
