Why would anybody want to use the subversion variant as default?

maybe ask upstream why it's in the default ./configure ?

That configure script also builds with ndiff, zenmap and nping, the same question could also be asked why they aren't in the requirements of this port. I think for me, I just want a default nmap package that I'd expect on a Linux distro. AFAIK, both CentOS and Ubuntu package nmap with lua by default. r147186 not only got rid of lua as a dep and not providing a variant for it, but also reenabled subversion as a default variant. I'm not sure what the reasoning for this change is. BTW, this Portfile violates Macport's coding standard. nmap has also gone on to 7.12 now.

...

The whole point of this ticket was to get rid of it as a default

dependency. nmap-update is an old closed-alpha project.

You can easily build without it now, you couldn't before.

But that's not the default, and certainly not what this ticket was asking for. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/37343#comment:14> MacPorts <https://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X
