Description (last modified by mf2k (Frank Schima))
I have a few ports where I have chosen to install specific variants but when I go to upgrade my choices are not remembered so I end up having to specify the variant again. This makes doing a simple 'port upgrade -u outdated' impractical, as it would causes the default variants to take precedence over my previous choices.
It would be _much_ appreciated if there was a way to set certain variants as the default (via a config file or something) so my preference would always be honored...

Variants are honored when upgrading, at least for me. But negative variants are not. Is that what you are seeing? Also, what version of macports are you running?

MacPorts version 1.7.0 ...
One of the ports I see this with is ghostscript, which I have installed as the +no_x11 variant. When upgrading it always tries to install all of the X11 dependencies.

Dup of #8221 (which is fixed on trunk and should be available with MacPorts 1.8.0).
