I just upgraded my gimp2 to 2.4-rc1. I noticed that now gimp2 portfile uses default variants, but it seems that the bug about "-variant" mentioned before is not fixed yet: I used -gnome and -python, but they seem not recorded. I get "gimp2 @2.4.0-rc1_0 (active)" with "port installed", and when I do "port upgrade gimp2", it's as if I originally specified +gnome and +python.

Since "-variant" seems broken, can we avoid using default variants? Otherwise it's too troublesome for end users. In my case, whenever gimp2 is updated, I have to recall which variants I have disabled, and I have to do uninstall-and-install instead of upgrade.

Or is there a patch on the way to fix the "-variant" problem?

Thanks for your feedback. gimp port developement has been very erratic lately but my goal is to have a stable and durable scheme with 2.4.0. Now variants are themselves still very erratic in MacPorts, so I'll try to make it a safe decision. Opinions and knowledgable precisions are welcome as always. yves

Adding this lines to /opt/local/etc/macports/variants.conf does also work with port upgrade:

-gnome -python

This seems not to work when doing 'sudo port upgrade gimp2' and starts do download and build gnome-keyring. :( bye Fabian
