-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I was looking at the variants for mplayer, and noticed one there for noappleremote and it's description says that this would disable apple remote support for the build. I was wondering if this referred to the apple remote control software, or the infrared apple remote control that is used with the newer systems. Anyone know which is it?

I presume it's the infrared Apple Remote device that comes with newer Macs. You could ask the maintainer of the MPlayer port or the developers of the MPlayer software if you want to know for sure.

No need to look in the Portfile itself. Just type "port info MPlayer". That will print out the maintainer's complete email address, which in this case ends with macports.org

Sadly, that's how many mailing lists work. :) And it's how they have to work, to reduce spam.

The info shows both the description, along with all the dependencies. Here I had been using port search {portname} followed up with port deps {portname} and port variants {portname} to get all the info that can be found in port info {portname}. I must say, I'm quite pleased with that feature, and glad that you mentioned Ryan, since I'll be using it much more in the future.

You should read "man port" and http://guide.macports.org/ ; maybe there will be more things you'd like to know! :-)

I was successfully located off-list and replied there, but just for the curious and the mailing list archives, noappleremote does refer to the IR remote, I changed to variant description for it to be clearer. Thanks, Eric
