Hi all,
I was trying to update some ports and realised that I run into some variant
conflict. However, I do not completely understand why these restrictions are in
place and where they originate.
I have cairo installed as cairo @1.12.16_2+quartz+universal+x11, with both x11
AND quartz activated, I think that was necessary because I run into some other
issue.
Now pango failed to upgrade, because +x11 variant was installed. However, from
what I understand (see below), pango as well would allow to install with both
variants x11 and quartz, as the variants are not conflicting. But to activate
pango +x11, I am requested to install cairo -x11.
Why that, wouldn't it be sufficient to request cairo +quartz instead, at least
it would look more consistent to the user. What is the technical background.
Note: I am able to install cairo +universal +quartz, which results in pango
@1.36.3_0+quartz+universal+x11.
Thanks!
