Hi,
for Python ports it makes sense not to install python to $prefix/bin
because that would shadow the python which comes with the system.
What about if we currently ship a certain port that installs the
binary to $prefix/bin and would like to allow parallel installation of
a newer
Sounds kind of like the sensible alternatives approach that many
dpkg-based package managers take:

Hi,
What is the most reasonable way to declare a conflict between portA
+pythonXY and portB +pythonXY? The ports themeselves don't conflict
and different python variants don't conflict either (portA +python33
and portB +python34 works OK).
The problem is that both ports install files with the
The active_variants PortGroup can be used this way:
active_variants $depspec $required $forbidden
That forbidden section is likely what you’re after, inside a variant block.

Hi Ryan,

1) Perhaps the icons at least could be blue to match the mandatory
good-old MacPorts icon, which definitely needs to appear here instead of the
new “macports”. :)

Hi,
All good in theory.
In practice the port uses the cmake PortGroup which defines
pre-configure step and it seems that it overwrites the one from
active_variants, so adding
require_active_variants portB +python33
doesn't have any effect at all.
pre-configure blocks don't overwrite
Indeed, evidently depends: does some strange things which depof: does
not.
Though man port does not define depends:, it is recommended here:
https://guide.macports.org/#using.common-tasks.finddepending
By contrast, depof: does not seem to appear in the guide.

Hi,
I would like to ask for advice about how to properly support building
ROOT 6 (which builds clang/cling 3.5 as part of the installation) on
Lion.
I'm aware of http://trac.macports.org/wiki/FAQ#libcpp. But it's not
clear to me if dependency on clang 3.5 means that one will be unable
to to run
Ok, I think I see what is going on here: apparently port installed
depends:XXX returns all ports depending on port XXX -- OR a port that
contains the string XXX. This seems like a bug, and gives very misleading
information.
* gcr appears to depend on itself because it depends on libgcrypt.
* gtk3
Hi,
For me, I’m afraid, I think this means ROOT6 can only be properly supported on
10.8 or newer. As its only these OS versions that have c++11 support. If
upstream have decided ROOT from version 6 onwards requires c++11 support, I am
not going to second guess them.
I previously had variants
