Ah. Isn't it normally 'platform macosx'? When I look at a Portfile, I assume variants are mine to select and platforms are handled by MacPorts.
That's my question too. Why isn't it a platform statement?
It looks like this wording originated from the patch in this ticket: http://trac.macosforge.org/projects/macports/ticket/1242 It was applied to php4 in this revision 3 years ago: http://trac.macosforge.org/projects/macports/changeset/4126 And it got carried over to php5 when that port was created. Before I change "variant" to "platform" I would like to test a bit to make sure that everything still works as expected. Please hold.
