#40333: py-wxpython-2.8 dependencies: add proper variants for proper use of wxWidgets-2.8 vs. wxgtk-2.8 -------------------------+------------------------------------------------- Reporter: mojca@… | Owner: macports-tickets@… Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: Keywords: | Port: py-wxpython-2.8 spe grass | bittorrent py-dsv py-pyface py-rotoframework- | ride py26-pypthant -------------------------+------------------------------------------------- All dependencies of `py-wxpython-2.8` need variants to account for the difference between linking against `py-wxpython-2.8 +carbon` and `py- wxpython-2.8 +gtk`. These ports are: * editors/spe * gis/grass (see also #36904) * net/bittorrent * python/py-dsv * python/py-robotframework-ride (see also #40297) * python/py26-pyphant Plus maybe those with (temporarily?) disabled support for wxWidgets: * games/sounddecompress * python/py-pyface (see also #40207) On Xcode >= 4.4 `py-wxpython-2.8` can only be installed with `+gtk`, so there is no problem, but with earlier releases of Xcode where `+carbon` is default, these dependencies need to be aware of incompatibility with `x86_64`, `clang` and possibly other minor issues. On top of that some ports are conditionally compatible with `py- wxpython-3.0` and one needs to keep in mind that `py27-wxpython-2.8` is conflicting with `py27-wxpython-3.0` and the reasonable compromise I see is to allow these ports to link against `py26-wxpython-2.8` in order to allow side-by-side installation with dependencies of `py27-wxpython-3.0`. I would suggest to provide options with consistent/equal names for all the listed ports, but I'm looking for suggestions. Just an additional note is that at least `bittorrent`, `py-dsv` and `spe` seem relatively "abandoned" upstream and also have no maintainer. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/40333> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X
