#20103: Use a common default variant for a recent gcc port in scientific packages -----------------------------------+---------------------------------------- Reporter: alakazam@… | Owner: macports-tickets@… Type: update | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 1.7.1 Keywords: | Port: octave arpack -----------------------------------+---------------------------------------- Comment(by takeshi@…): One of the reasons I migrated to MacPorts from the other packaging system is that there are not much pushy rules and it is up to the maintainer how to design the default and variants. I am OK with using suggested gcc43 as the default variant since it simplifies maintenance. However, I'd prefer to make it as a recommendation rather than a strict rule, which should be usually respected unless there are some reasonable motivations to choose a package other than gcc43. -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.macports.org/ticket/20103#comment:4> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
