This part feels a bit tricky to me. There are many ports which
expect, "if I have variant X, then all my dependencies were built
with variant X as well." Should we actually put in test code to
sanity check these configurations? I argue that effort would be
better spent developing variant-based dependencies (yes, this is my
Gentoo background speaking here...)
Furthermore, this 'n' tends to grow quite quickly when you consider
that a port should be tested not only with all permutations of its
variants but all permutations of its dependencies variants as well!
This testing is something that I believe is completely infeasible at
this moment.
Agreed. You've talked me out of even wanting to grapple with the
problem of variants for now. OK, so, how about we just focus on
getting some reasonable percentage of the default builds checked?
