Bug 268348: math/py-numpy: introduce FORTRAN / NOBLAS options
https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=268348



--- Comment #19 from Mateusz Piotrowski <[email protected]> ---
Hello python@,

I've reworked the original patch and I wonder if you could take another look.

I agree with Charlie that we need to be careful when adding extra options to
Python ports. A potential pilot error could lead to a lot of frustration and
long debugging. To address that I added an explicit warning to the option
description. There is a precedence for such warnings in the ports tree and it
is a good middle ground for different ports usergroups.

Regarding NumPy's support for NOBLAS: it is fully supported via internal
fallback routines. Their implementation is not very performant, however, so the
option description warns about that.

The new patch is here:

Best,
Mateusz
