#146 closed defect (worksforme)

port does not allow -VARIANT_NAME

Reported by: jpm@… Owned by: kvv@…

Component: base Version: 1.0

Description

a user should be able to add and remove variant functionality directly from the port command. i cannot see why this would be necessary aside from disabling the default variant and enabling another but still...

until variant conflicts and/or the ability to override another variant is implemented, you are pretty stuck...

jpm.metadata ~ -=> sudo port install nano -stable +unstable Usage: /opt/local/bin/port [-vDq] [action] [-d portdir] [options] jpm.metadata ~ -=>

in the example below, nano's default variant is 'stable'

This is supported, but you must precede the first -variant with -- to disambiguate between flags and negated variants.
