That sounds like a better way to fix the problem. Perhaps an explicit 'not_dependent_on' parameter for masking out ports from the rdepof:pyXX-YZ list when license checking. (I think I just said the same thing.) On the other hand, while I'm not a huge fan of removing the OpenSSL module by default, my guess is the population of macports python users depending on OpenSSL would probably figure out that they need to compile the +openssl variant, especially if a 'notes' item points out that the default variant had changed. Just my 2c. -Eric -- Eric A. Borisch _______________________________________________ macports-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.macosforge.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/macports-dev
