#24228: xorg-libX11 +x11_xcb variant introduces a circular dependency ---------------------------------------------+------------------------------ Reporter: myshlev@… | Owner: macports-tickets@… Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 1.8.2 Keywords: xorg-libX11 x11_xcb xorg-libxcb | Port: xorg-libX11 ---------------------------------------------+------------------------------ I was installing the xorg-libX11 port for the first time today and I tried to use the +x11_xcb variant. That variant introduces a circular dependency. The +x11_xcb variant adds a dependency on xorg-libxcb, which needs python26, which needs tk, which needs Xft2, which needs xrender, which needs xorg-libX11. So I had to install xorg-libX11 without +x11_xcb. If a user wants the +x11_xcb variant they would have to install xorg- libX11 twice. -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.macports.org/ticket/24228> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
