#126: dependencies need to allow inclusion of variant ---------------------------------+------------------------------------------ Reporter: jpm@… | Owner: macports-tickets@… Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: MacPorts Future Component: base | Version: Resolution: | Keywords: Port: | ---------------------------------+------------------------------------------ Changes (by devans@…): * cc: devans@… (added) Comment: Personally, I favor including all of these variants as the default for ffmpeg as the utility of the library and app is the broad coverage that is provided. However, the opposing point of view is that the current port is just following the distribution's own distinctions at configure time as to what is default (ffmpeg's builit in codecs) and what is optional (codecs based on external libraries like libx264). So what is MacPorts policy on this. Is it permissible to make everthing the default? Or should we follow the developers lead? If the latter how about making a separate port (ffmpeg-full for example) that includes everything that can be depended upon by ports that need it. -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.macports.org/ticket/126#comment:28> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
