Hello All -- I have recently written a script that parses numerous MacPorts and their dependencies and variants information (in my collection of ports I use about 455 total). Of the total, I found one part, the libtheora port (version 1.0beta2), that produces an platform variant name of "darwin_9_i386", when queried with the port command-line program, specifically:
$ port variants libtheora libtheora has the variants: universal doc: Install extra documentation * darwin_9_i386* With all other ports I only see either "darwin_9" or "darwin_i386" or "macosx" as specific strings representing platform variants, but haven't seen and string combination akin to the libtheora port's creative combination of "darwin_9_i386". According to the MacPorts documentation, it does not appear that combining darwin_9 and darwin_i386 into one string is legal: http://guide.macports.org/#reference.variants.platform Platform variants are either defined by default in MacPorts base, or defined by a port author to customize a port's installation according to OS (operating system) or hardware platform. platform [os_platform] [hw_platform] [version] [arch] However, looking inside the libtheora Portfile, I find: *platform darwin 9 i386* { # http://trac.macports.org/projects/macports/ticket/13033 configure.args-append --disable-asm } If anyone could shed some additional light on my observation, with regard whether to the legitamacy of this port variant, that would be quite appreciated. Thanks, T.M.
