Is there any way to install a port like scapy, which ultimately depends on py27-numpy built by default by gcc7, using gcc6 instead, i.e., to pass a variant to a dependency of the port to be installed? Or, is installing the dependency variant, then setting it to not requested, next installing the dependent port, the only way?
