#126: dependencies need to allow inclusion of variant --------------------------+-------------------------------- Reporter: jpm@… | Owner: macports-tickets@… Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: MacPorts Future Component: base | Version: Resolution: | Keywords: Port: | --------------------------+-------------------------------- Comment (by ryandesign@…): The progress that has been made is that MacPorts now supports subports, which make it easier for a single portfile to provide multiple separately- installable ports. Ports that provide optional functionality that other ports might need to depend on should break that optional functionality out into subports instead of using variants. We should not pursue the idea of allowing variants to be depended upon. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/126#comment:48> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
