That's not really what I want. I'm happy with the ports I have installed now and if I need to install another port, then if it can use the ports I have installed, it should, otherwise I don't want to build the dependency. I don't want to go through all ports all the time and check out the variants. I guess this is me being lazy, but that's what a port system is for, isn't it :) Blair _______________________________________________ macports-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.macosforge.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/macports-dev
