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?
Mmm i386 is for intel, sure. But x86 targets a wider set of platforms (intel and AMD). So I always saw i386 as a subset of x86.
Am I far off ?

I just saw "platform intel" Does that really work ?
I really have no idea about "x86" or "platform intel". Where is the code in base that autoselects platforms? We could look there to see what it supports.
it fetches uname, so whatever comes out is good yves
