Yes, looks like it does. Three more seem to work that way, too, `mate-icons` even in reverse mode: `port echo variant:rebuild variant:prebuilt mate-icons cabal ghc stack` > The variant name is: +prebuilt I like that name for its conciseness, lack of an underscore and correct tense. :-) > Besides that… Haven't followed this discussion very closely, but I think I'm > more into what > [I think] someone said earlier - that MP should try to build everything, or > try to fix it so it can. Yes, I think we all agree on that. This thread is about those cases where it's not feasible to build from source, yet providing the port is desirable.
