Good question. The atlas dependency in scipy seems to have been added in <https://trac.macports.org/changeset/59617>, with the not very sense-making commit message "Added proper deletion of default opts for no_gcc43 and no_atlas variants." The atlas dependency for numpy was added in <https://trac.macports.org/changeset/59608>, also with no explanation why in the commit message. I seem to remember there were reasons put forward on the lists at the time, but I forget what they were. - Josh _______________________________________________ macports-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.macosforge.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/macports-dev
