#39782: Add keyword to list compatible graphical environments (X11, Quartz, Wayland)? --------------------------+-------------------------------- Reporter: c.herbig@… | Owner: macports-tickets@… Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: base | Version: Resolution: | Keywords: Port: | --------------------------+-------------------------------- Comment (by egall@…):
is a great feature that sets MacPorts apart from Fink (unless they have added this in the last year)
The way Fink handles it is that their regular packages support X when relevant, and then they also have "`nox`" versions of those packages that remove X support, which conflict with the regular versions of those packages. (This confused me for a while, as I thought that "`nox`" was pronounced "knocks" at first, but now I'm pretty sure it's actually "No X"...) To put it in MacPorts terms, they use the equivalent of conflicting sub-ports to determine X support, while MacPorts uses variants. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/39782#comment:7> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X
