#39185: ImageMagick: Using the +perl variant should not stop the installation -----------------------------+-------------------------- Reporter: jozef.mojzis@… | Owner: ryandesign@… Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 2.1.3 Resolution: | Keywords: Port: ImageMagick | -----------------------------+-------------------------- Changes (by ryandesign@…): * owner: macports-tickets@… => ryandesign@… Comment: The reason I made the ImageMagick port do that is so that users who previously indicated they wanted perlmagick by using the +perl variant would be informed why they don't have it anymore after upgrading. After a time (after most users can be assumed to have upgraded) I will remove the +perl variant. The alternative is to make the ImageMagick port display the message but continue with the installation. But users often upgrade all outdated ports at once, which frequently produces more output than fits in their terminal window, and they frequently don't bother scrolling up to see messages, leading to user surprise. Note that you don't need to remove +perl from variants.conf to overcome this issue. You can instead specifically disable the perl variant when installing ImageMagick: {{{ sudo port install ImageMagick -perl }}} -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/39185#comment:1> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X
