#39185: Bad practice ----------------------------+-------------------------------- Reporter: jozef.mojzis@… | Owner: macports-tickets@… Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 2.1.3 Keywords: | Port: ImageMagick ----------------------------+-------------------------------- When the /opt/local/etc/macports/variants.conf containing the +perl, the ImageMagick stops with error: `Error: org.macports.configure for port ImageMagick returned: The +perl variant is no longer used; use the separate p5-perlmagick port instead.` Yes, i know the workaround, remove the "+perl" from the variants.conf, bulld ImageMagick a add the +perl again into variants.conf. But this is an Bad Design. The variants.conf should accept ANY VALID +thing, e.g. +perl too, and the ImageMagick SHOULD IGNORE it if does'nt support the given +variant -- like any other port. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/39185> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X
