More questions. How are variants handled for dependent packages?
For example, I add a bunch of default variants to variants.conf that has perl5.* compile using +shared +threads and if this changes Perl's ABI, then how are the dependent binary Perl modules handled?
Actually, a better example is Python, I compile with +ucs4 which changes the functions for managing Unicode and if a binary module is loaded into a Python with +ucs2, then things will fail with missing symbols.
Should binary downloads be disabled if a reverse-dependent package has a non-default variant set?

I blew away my /opt/local to start over after I got a SQL error I asked about in a previous thread [1] and noticed that the new build is using binary downloads. 1) Were binary downloads enabled for a while and it's just because I'm reintalling "core" packages that I'm seeing this? 2) Is there a way to disable binary downloads and always compile myself? 3) What file format is the rmd160 files? Are those signatures or checksums? Thanks, Blair [1] http://lists.macosforge.org/pipermail/macports-dev/2012-April/018514.html
