IMHO, instead of a variant, MacPorts should allow users to specify default compiler options (e.g., CFLAGS) since there are too many possibilities.

Sure, if people can do that with confidence. what I was thinking was a scenario where the maintainer or upstream folks had a specific incantation they wanted used and that would be used if the +debug variant was passed. I agree that one size does not fit all. - -- Paul Beard contact info: www.paulbeard.org/paulbeard.vcf pictures: http://www.flickr.com/photos/pdb206/ Are you trying to win an argument or solve a problem? -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (Darwin) iD8DBQFF9KQsfHLPwpj1/JQRAkHTAJ9Zrwyldx/nRLlGRFGTbE4GM6Z3FgCeNoFb bU5+lLg3lGFyz766MMhm92s= =u86E -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
