Why is that a problem? In this case, the maintainer wants to specifically support both wxWidgets and wxWidgets-devel. The end-user either already made his choice on that (and chances are he'd select the same variants on this port), or he doesn't care, in which case the port can specify a sane default. > and not even consistently (e.g. archives). Yeah, there would only be one of both variants available as binary archive. I don't see that as a problem either, we're having users with non-standard variants build the software on their own anyway. You could consider having wxWidgets-devel "non-standard". OTOH, not having variants for this case, but just supporting whatever the user has without specifying a variant _will_ break stuff when a user gets the buildbot archive, which might be built against wxWidgets but has wxWidgets-devel installed. -- Clemens Lang _______________________________________________ macports-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.macosforge.org/mailman/listinfo/macports-dev
