- `port info` now opens the Portfile and displays up-to-date
information.
This allows information about variants to be displayed (eg.
dependencies).
Also allow `port info` to default to current directory if no
name is provided
(eridius r25255).
- Evaluate variants at dportopen instead of dportexec. This
ensures that
the portfile represents the proper information if queried
before targets
are executed. It also prevents variants from being executed
twice if multiple
targets are executed separately on the portfile (ticket
#11296, eridius r25033).
These two changes make it very easy to fix the bug I reported in
http://trac.macports.org/projects/macports/ticket/11891 (variants
ignored in deps action). All that has to happen is that the code Mr.
Ballard put into action_info for this purpose be shared by action_deps,
and I have submitted a patch to ticket 11891 which does just that.
Hopefully the patch will help get that ticket resolved.
Thanks very much,
Glen Whitney
