Hi Qt4-affine devs, on the kde-mac ML the question came up whether the necessity to install qt4-mac in its debug variant - when one simply needs KDE ports installed in their debug variant - is only due to MacPorts' way of handling port variants...
If that's indeed the case, it may seem to be a good idea to replace in all KDE software ports the debug variant by a new variant - perhaps called debug_kde. In that case all ports depending on kdelibs4 would nicely manage their debug_kde variants amongst themselves and not mess with the standard-MacPorts debug variant at all anymore. The debug output of qt4-mac is very verbose and of no much use when debugging crashing KDE applications anyways. Also one would not be forced to install "qt4-mac +debug" from source and only be left with locally rebuilding the much smaller KDE ports. What do you think?
