Is this really true? I haven't tested, but I was under the impression that when installing something with a variant, any dependencies that are installed at this time also have the same variant applied to them. Meaning, if you don't have apr-util installed, and you install subversion +no_bdb, apr-util should also have +no_bdb applied when it gets automatically installed.
That's the way it's supposed to work (and the reason why the variants are named the same).
Oh really! This is the first time I've heard that.
I haven't tried it recently to know if it's broken or not.
Ryan may have had apr-util already installed when he needed to rebuild it to get it without bdb.
I don't recall. I'll try it again right now. [some time later] Ok, it does build apr-util with +no_bdb also, but it still sees the db44 dependency and downloads db44 and builds it. Which is what I wanted to avoid.
