I want to do this:
variant clamav description {Enable virus scanning} {

This errors on me, I assume as a result of the +server, which is
clamav just installs a startup item.
Within my port, I will want to be able to do:
port install assp +clamav and have the +server forced.
It is not possible. This is issue #126.
Consider requesting that the +server variant be removed from the
clamav port, and a new port clamav-server be created instead. See
the postgresql ports and (in a moment) the mysql5 port for
examples of this strategy.
Thanks. So to get this straight, the desired goal is port
duplication outside of a few lines for a variant?
clamav port

more code....

clamav server port

I think I understand why, and I think I understand the long term
goal here, but the above has me wondering a little.
Is it a terrible idea to pop in a second startup item in which will
just instal the clamav startup item? This seems messy to me, but
it also will get the job done.
There is:
/opt/local/etc/macports/variants.conf
where you could put:
+server
and I believe you will get the +server add to all ports that port
builds, no?
I mentioned recently gentoo's package.mask for masking packages or
packages above a version. Personally I'd like something like that in
ports.
Wouldn't it be useful and simple to add the capability to /opt/local/
macports/variants.conf to specify a port:variant combo?
clamav+server
mysql+server
or
port:clamav +server
or
clamav mysql5 +server
