I just did this under 1.8:

It went ahead and did it's thing. Should it not have hit the

ui_msg "The +server variant is obsolete. Please install the $

Yes it should. You did not see that message printed after the
line "---> Configuring mysql5"?
I was using -d so a lot went by, mysql5 was installed, I figured
it should have aborted? a port installed showed it was installed,
so I removed it, and then ran sudo port install mysql5-server,
which made everything mostly work.
So this ui_msg is not designed to abort, it is just informational?
It is just informational. It does not abort. mysql5 installs
without server support. The message reminds you if you want server
support you now have to additionally install mysql5-server.
I used the same approach when I removed variants from graphviz and
php5. Would it be better to abort the installation process and force
the user to deal with the situation right there?
I tend to lean on it should abort then. If the new way is to mysql5-
server then the +server method probably should not do anything. If it
still installs and does not even install the launchd item, to me, that
is a little confusing.
I have never seen it done in MacPorts, but can it be interactive? Y/N
for wanting to continue as it stands, or abort, clean, and maybe even
allow the user to move into a mysql5-server install right there.
