It may actually be best if you created a separate port tree that someone could include in their sources.conf file if they wanted to test it... On 1 Apr 2007, at 13:54, Elias Pipping wrote:

Until the current release has universal support then I would not commit universalized ports.
If we don't try to make ports universal now, we'll never know what universal support features we need from MacPorts.
zlib +universal worked fine in MP 1.3.2 until the portfile was declared to be too ugly and got totally rewritten... I'll have more to say about that in a moment.
the 'normal user' shouldn't be affected by universal variant related changes until that's an official feature. so it'd probably best to remove everything of that kind from the affected ports and instead make patches for testers running the trunk available.
that'd affect:
archivers/zlib/ devel/openssl/ devel/pcre/ editors/vim/ lang/scheme48/ net/curl/ textproc/libiconv/ www/neon/
i'll do that as soon asap and attach the patches to the corresponding article in the wiki. sorry for the inconvenience cause by universal variants (including a broken zlib).

Elias
