#18359: Guide has wrong advice about variants -------------------------------------+-------------------------------------- Reporter: ryandesign@… | Owner: markd@… Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Website & Documentation Component: guide | Version: 1.7.0 Keywords: | Port: -------------------------------------+-------------------------------------- Comment(by blb@…): Replying to [ticket:18359 ryandesign@…]:
I do not know why the Guide says this because it is the opposite of what I recommend. It should say something more like:
I believe the reason is that at one point, doing a post-<phase> in a variant would actually override the top-level version of post-<phase>. Once MacPorts was updated so that it chained these instead of overriding, then your suggestion became the better method. -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.macports.org/ticket/18359#comment:1> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
