Sure, that's fine, we just all need to decide on something. >> 2) Rename +gccXY variants to +gfortranXY > > Sounds good to me, though we should use +gfortranX.Y if we switch the gcc > ports to gccX.Y. Yep, agreed. >> 3) Start moving away from configure.compiler=macports-gcc* > > This seems like a good idea.

That would be a great benefit of everything using one port group for this: easily changing the default gfortran for all ports. _______________________________________________ macports-dev mailing list macports-dev@lists.macosforge.org https://lists.macosforge.org/mailman/listinfo/macports-dev
