#37075: please consider adding "default_variants +python27" to boost ---------------------+--------------------------- Reporter: mmoll@… | Owner: adfernandes@… Type: request | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 2.1.2 Keywords: | Port: boost ---------------------+--------------------------- Many MacPorts users would have the python27 port installed anyway, so enabling boost.python by default wouldn't make much of a difference to those who don't use Boost.Python. For the ones that do, it makes a big difference if binary packages are available. I maintain a number of ports that depend on Boost.Python (py-graph-tool, ompl). Since I can't depend on a variant of a port, users have to compile boost and packages that depend on boost.python from source. They may also have to reinstall boost if they didn't have boost.python enabled before. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/37075> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
