#40042: base should ignore variant conflicts when cleaning --------------------------+-------------------------------- Reporter: c.herbig@… | Owner: macports-tickets@… Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: base | Version: 2.2.0 Resolution: | Keywords: Port: | --------------------------+-------------------------------- Comment (by larryv@…): Replying to [comment:3 ryandesign@…]:
Still not sure how we could enhance base to work around such problems. Perhaps we could special case "`port clean`" and other operations that shouldn't care about variants to ignore them.
This… {{{ % sudo port clean R +cairo -x11 ---> Cleaning R % }}} …doesn’t cause any problems, but perhaps setting variants via the command line uses a different code path than setting them in `variants.conf`. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/40042#comment:5> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X
