#18314: ruby19 nosuffix variant ----------------------------------+----------------------------------------- Reporter: jonbrenner@… | Owner: febeling@… Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Port Enhancements Component: ports | Version: 1.7.0 Keywords: ruby19 suffix | Port: ruby19 ----------------------------------+----------------------------------------- Comment(by febeling@…): Replying to [comment:4 jonbrenner@…]:
Copied from the mailing list:
I used a "conflicts ruby" directive to prevent problems when the 1.8 port is active on a system. Would that work? I'm new to macports and wasn't sure whether the directive signals conflicts with other ports or just variants.
nah, conflicts deals with other variants, not with ports.
Why would the variant get lost with the next update?
See Joshua's comment above. There is a bug with variants being dropped, but as Joshua points out above it is only under certain conditions, which I wasn't aware of. So I will have a fresh look at this tomorrow. Thanks for putting together and submitting a patch, btw! -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.macports.org/ticket/18314#comment:6> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
