How does that work?
variant svn {
depends_run port:p5-svn-simple port:subversion
port:perl port:p5-libwww-perl
}
There's a line in post-destroot that explicitly removes git-svn if
the svn variant isn't installed.
Thank you! That's the bit I overlooked. Looks good to me.
Perhaps the maintainer could also add variant descriptions
explaining each variant's purpose.
Hmmm, most ports don't document their variants: the mere existence
of an svn variant implies that it is needed for svn work.
True, most ports don't describe variants, but only because the syntax
to do so was only invented a month or so ago. We should strive to
describe most of our variants.
variant doc description {Include documentation} {
...
}
