Hi As the default universal variant only works with configure based ports it will therefore not work with ports using the python portgroups e.g.: $ port variants py25-boto py25-boto has the variants: universal $ sudo port install py25-boto +universal Error: Error executing universal: Default universal variant only works with ports based on configure Error: Unable to open port: Error evaluating variants $ As expected adding "universal_variant no" to the Portfile removes the universal variant. But as all ports using the python portgroups with not be configure based (by default) could this "universal_variant no" be added to the portgroup? I've had this line in my local python portgroups for the past day or so with no adverse effects, but would be interested in hearing what people who understand base much better than I have to say on this? Could this cause any unforeseen effects? Cheers Adam

I would prefer the more general fix which is proposed in this ticket: http://trac.macports.org/projects/macports/ticket/12170 Basically, I request that if the port says "use_configure no", the default universal variant should disappear. On Nov 22, 2007, at 23:23, Adam Mercer wrote:

Yes, that is a better solution. Cheers Adam
