#20103: Use a common default variant for a recent gcc port in scientific packages -----------------------------------+---------------------------------------- Reporter: alakazam@… | Owner: macports-tickets@… Type: update | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 1.7.1 Keywords: | Port: octave arpack -----------------------------------+---------------------------------------- Comment(by mww@…): Currently I'd favor 4.3 over 4.4 in terms of bugginess, but not by far -- I'd expect 4.4.1 to be a good release (of the 4.4 line). 4.4 has of course the edge of being newer and therefore it will be supported longer than 4.3... Long story short: If you can live with minor (!) problems till 4.4.1, I'd recommned going for that version. If you want stability right now, take 4.3. -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.macports.org/ticket/20103#comment:3> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
