#17189: tcl 8.5.5 - Add variant for installing the private headers -------------------------------+-------------------------------------------- Reporter: krunk7@gmail.com | Owner: mww@macports.org Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Port Enhancements Component: ports | Version: 1.6.0 Resolution: | Keywords: Port: tcl | -------------------------------+-------------------------------------------- Comment(by mcalhoun@macports.org): Until dependencies allow inclusion of variants (#126), may I humbly suggest that, if the private headers are to be installed,[[BR]] that it be the default behavior and not a variant.[[BR]] Otherwise, no port could reliably ensure that they are installed. Including the private headers would make, e.g., maintaining the port expect easier. -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.macports.org/ticket/17189#comment:2> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS

Don't remember what, but if I had time to dredge up an old ticket from 3-4 years ago it would give details because at one time the private headers were installed by default briefly until the problems were noticed. I suppose if the variant were commented well it might be ok. -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.macports.org/ticket/17189#comment:5> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS

I do agree that private headers would make things much easier, if only that it would allow the port of [browser:trunk/dports/lang/xotcl/Portfile xotcl] to get to a new version and not having to linger with an outdated version for ages now.

That, and other outdated Tcl-related ports. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/17189#comment:11> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X
