As I proposed earlier, we might want to avoid using a dash in a port name, because it is nice to have the port name and variant name be the same, therefore I proposed gccX.Y instead of gcc-X.Y. However, renaming existing ports is a pain, and going forward new versions of gcc starting with gcc5 will just have a single major version number so no change would be necessary there. > 2) Rename +gccXY variants to +gfortranXY Note that some ports use gcc variants not for fortran support but for java support. I'm thinking here of my much-neglected pdftk port, though for that I may just remove the variants and use a single known-good java compiler. > 3) Start moving away from configure.compiler=macports-gcc* We started this already last year when Mavericks was released. _______________________________________________ macports-dev mailing list macports-dev@lists.macosforge.org https://lists.macosforge.org/mailman/listinfo/macports-dev
