#39897: Add 'optional' or 'recommended' metadata tags to portfile spec. --------------------------+-------------------------------- Reporter: c.herbig@… | Owner: macports-tickets@… Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: base | Version: Resolution: | Keywords: Port: | --------------------------+-------------------------------- Comment (by larryv@…): Replying to [comment:4 ryandesign@…]:
I would like for each recommendation to be accompanied by an explanation. Users would want to know ''why'' a port is being recommended. For example, if they were told that yelp is used for accessing help content, and the user has no plans to access the help content, then the user will know they don't need to install it.
If suppressing recommendations for already-installed ports isn’t terribly important, can’t this just be handled with notes? -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/39897#comment:6> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X
