I found out that
87 ports use variant darwin 10 ports use variant puredarwin 10 ports use variant freebsd 3 ports use variant powerpc 3 ports use variant x86
Don't forget 2 ports that use "variant macosx". Oops, one of those is mine...
Now, that should be "platform", shouldn't it ?
Should I go on and change everything ?
All except "variant x86", probably yes...
As for "variant x86", the correct syntax would be "platform i386", wouldn't it? I don't see any ports with "platform x86", and nobody with an Intel Mac is currently automatically getting a variant called "x86", as far as I know. And since those users are not complaining, I must conclude that whatever is in the x86 variant is not in fact necessary for Intel Macs, and may in fact be harmful. So each of the x86 variants should be specifically examined and only retained if found to still be necessary. I mean, up until not too long ago, the only way to use MacPorts on an x86 processor was to use an OS other than Mac OS X, right?
I just saw "platform intel" Does that really work ? yves
