#18443: remember variant choices when upgrading --------------------------------+------------------------------------------- Reporter: s0nspark@… | Owner: macports-tickets@… Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Port Bugs Component: base | Version: 1.7.0 Keywords: variant | Port: --------------------------------+------------------------------------------- Changes (by macsforever2000@…): * cc: s0nspark@… (removed) * milestone: Port Enhancements => Port Bugs Old description:

I have a few ports where I have chosen to install specific variants but when I go to upgrade my choices are not remembered so I end up having to specify the variant again. This makes doing a simple 'port upgrade -u outdated' impractical, as it would causes the default variants to take precedence over my previous choices.

It would be _much_ appreciated if there was a way to set certain variants as the default (via a config file or something) so my preference would always be honored...

But negative variants are not. Is that what you are seeing? Also, what version of macports are you running? -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.macports.org/ticket/18443#comment:2> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
