This is mainly to the PyQwt maintainers (macsforever2000, erickt, and me), but also to any folks who know more about the PyQwt project.
Right now, py-pyqwt (5.2.0_4) has a variant for +qwt6, which makes this port depend on "port:qwt-60" which I replaced by "port:qwt60" last night. So, I'm working to fix up the py-pyqwt Portfile this morning. I tried to "install py27-pyqwt +qwt6", using qwt60 (6.0.2_0), but that failed due to some headers not being available (e.g., qwt_array.h); clearly qwt60 is API incompatible with qwt52 (and, they say this in their wiki, so it's not a surprise). So, I poked around a bit to see about making PyQwt compatible with Qwt6, and I see from the PyQwt and Qwt email lists (e.g., < http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_id=27819486 >), that PyQwt will likely not be upgraded to suppose Qwt6. Further, there seems to be no outside work towards making them work together. Hence, my question is did the +qwt6 variant of py-pyqwt ever really work? It seems like it should never have been there, or maybe it did work in a RC of Qwt6? Anyway, it no longer works for me and I cannot see how it would work for anyone. I'm moving towards removing the +qwt* variants from this port and instead relying solely on "path:lib/libqwt.5.dylib:qwt52". But, before I do this change I'd love to hear some anyone knowing more about the situation.
