Thanks for clearing that up; I'm a bit of a GPS freak, so I'll give it a 
spin.

To install a variant, you would write "port install gpsd +xgps". I believe
the note is saying that after this installation you will now have the xgps
and xgspspeed programs: from this port gpsd, not from some other port.

Upgrading gpsd

[Dave Horsfall]

On my weekly update cycle, "gpsd" was selected; and at the end I got:

--->  Some of the ports you installed have notes:
  gpsd has the following notes:
The xgps variant is now needed to get the xgps and xgpsspeed programs.

What precisely does this mean?  The manpage is not exactly clear.

I tried "port install gpsd +variant:xgps" (after removing) and nothing 
seemed to actually happen, and "port install xgps" printed:


Error: Port xgps not found

So, what exactly should I be doing if I want those variants (whatever they 
are; I assume a GUI version)?
