#44267: root6: Portfile parse problem when root5 installed ---------------------+--------------------- Reporter: mf2k@… | Owner: mojca@… Type: defect | Status: closed Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 2.3.99 Resolution: fixed | Keywords: Port: root6 | ---------------------+--------------------- Comment (by mojca@…): But that's "slightly suboptimal". If you have `root5 +python27` installed, your machine could spend 4 hours compiling `root6 +python27` (hopefully less), only to tell you that the variant conflicts with `root5` just before activation. Personally I'm not a big fan of this solution (even though I admit that it at least solves one weird problem). I would ask others for help. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/44267#comment:5> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X
