#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 egall@…): The way Homebrew does it is that dependencies of their equivalent of default variants get listed as "recommended" dependencies, while the dependencies of their equivalent of non-default variants get listed as "optional" dependencies. While this is slightly different than what the OP is asking for, I think something like that could still be useful, to more easily see all the dependencies pulled in by different variants without having to actually specify all of those variants. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/39897#comment:10> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X
