#33821: base: add a default +debug and +no_opt variant -------------------------------------------+-------------------------------- Reporter: sean.michael.farley@… | Owner: macports-tickets@… Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: base | Version: 2.0.4 Keywords: | Port: -------------------------------------------+-------------------------------- Comment(by snc@…): Replying to [comment:6 sean.michael.farley@…]:
It is much easier to tell a user "just copy and paste 'sudo port -v install metis +debug' into your terminal" than to tell them to edit a Portfile.
I don't have the experience of a situation where I'd need the user (a non- developer) to actually debug a library from MacPorts on my behalf, so I'm wondering if that's worth the burden that Ryan pointed out in the mailing list: having more variants is going to be relatively messy for MacPorts to support. I definitely like your patches for what they are, though. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/33821#comment:7> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
