Before we get into too many specifics about how this interactive

information on which such an interactive interface would be based. To
start with, in order to properly render the variants, we need
MacPorts
to be able to tell us not only what variants are available, but also
what variants conflict with what other variants; what variants the
port
wants as defaults; and what variants the user wants as defaults.
Aaand looking at the ChangeLog, it looks like that's already in
1.8.0,
except for the default variants bit. So that's helpful. Do I have to
parse the output of "port variants" to get it or is there more of
an API
that can be used?
What about default variants is missing? The variant metadata is
available as $PortInfo(vinfo).
I meant, can I access this information from a language that is not tcl?
