#30328: Enable variants for specific ports in variants.conf --------------------------+-------------------------------- Reporter: ionic@… | Owner: macports-tickets@… Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: Low | Milestone: Component: base | Version: Resolution: | Keywords: Port: | --------------------------+-------------------------------- Comment (by mp@…): Here's another (good?) reason for the requested change: The Puppet configuration management tool currently cannot handle variants because its notion of packages features only version numbers and the variants don't fit in there. The workaround is to use the variants.conf file. That fails if you need one port with a particular variant and another one without it. When adding this req, it would be great to maintain configuration BC. So I'd take "+foo +bar" as defaults for "all" ports and only a new spec like "someport: +bar +baz -foo" to apply only to "someport" (in this case, add bar and baz and drop the default foo). -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/30328#comment:7> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X
