yes, when you enter a different command, you do get different results. > Why do you think it would be inappropriate to do that for default variants? Variants are 'special' The ideal port has no variants (or at least has only default variants) - it builds with all reasonable options and people don't have to think about it. The dependency engine doesn't really handle variants - if it did, then I suppose it could make sense to pass default variants down. > port install A > and > port install B && port install A > > should result in the same final install. -- Daniel J.
