I know what variants I have disabled, and I do not want to change them. All I am trying to do is to get some info about a port, and I am gobsmacked my ability to get info about a port is tied to my variants choices. > So, the way to solve this is: > > - Enable cairo only if +x11 is requested > - Remove cairo from default_variants > > either of the options are to be implemented by the maintainer.
