#15411: Python bsddb/subversion-python25bindings module updates ---------------------------------+------------------------------------------ Reporter: dluke@macports.org | Owner: dluke@macports.org Type: enhancement | Status: assigned Priority: Normal | Milestone: Port Enhancements Component: ports | Version: 1.6.0 Resolution: | Keywords: ---------------------------------+------------------------------------------ Comment (by dluke@macports.org): Since ports can't depend on variants on other ports (and may never be able to), I don't know that that's a workable end-state. We'll probably need a 'default' bdb version (which would be 4.6 now and maybe 4.7 if someone makes a port for it). It might make sense to add variants that change things to depend on the older bdb versions, but I wouldn't bother adding (and testing) them unless there actually ends up being demand for it. I don't think a global macports conf setting for the version of a single project is a good idea. Of course, if the variants are named consistently, someone could set up default variants to get the behavior you want. So, in summary, I would like to make the change I've proposed here (which just updates the current state of things to use a newer bdb) and if you'd like to write variants for the other bdb versions, I wouldn't be opposed to adding them. -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.macports.org/ticket/15411#comment:5> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
