This brings to light the problem of "hidden dependencies" where the configuration notices that a library is available, compiles against that, but doesn't record a dependency. The dependent library could then be removed and lead to runtime problems. Either all optional libraries should always be disabled and dependencies marked only as they are enabled, or this auto-variant behavior could be adapted. I think the GSOC project that would introduce "rev-upgrade" could be of use here. It could at least mark decencies after compilation has occurred. -- arno s hautala /-| [email protected] pgp b2c9d448 _______________________________________________ macports-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.macosforge.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/macports-dev
