Description
Hi,
as discussed here:
http://lists.macosforge.org/pipermail/macports-dev/2012-April/018662.html
the current ffmpeg dependency does not work reliably due to the binary-incompatible ffmpeg/ffmeg-devel dichotomy. If a user already has ffmpeg-devel and installs the yorick-av binary package, yorick-av simply does not work.
The suggested solution is to provide two variants and select the right one at install time.
I am not sure if this requires a revision bump (the current binary package is correct for the -devel variant). Also, please fill free to rename the variant (e.g. to "ffmpeg-devel" instead of simply "devel").
In addition, this updated portfile:
- adds openmaintainer as a co-maintainer,
- uses a path dependency for yorick to ease the task of using a custom yorick build. Yorick versions are (almost?) always binary compatible.
Best regards, Thibaut.

I assume you are the maintainer? You didn't open the ticket using the email address listed in the Portfile.
In the future, setting keywords to "maintainer" and "haspatch" might get your ticket more attention and a quicker commit.

Yes, I'm the maintainer, thanks for the tip. I Don't think I can change keywords after the ticket is created.

r91981. What's the reasoning behind changing the yorick dependency to a path-style dependency, if I may ask? Do you plan adding a yorick-devel port?

Thanks.
I don't plan to make a public yorick-devel port, but I think it's good to give our users the ability to do so for themselves. Note that if ${prefix}/bin/yorick is a symlink to a yorick binary outside of the macports tree, a source install of the plug-in packages should correctly install them for this instance of yorick, out of the macports tree.
Regards, Thibaut.

Oh, now I see you actually explained that in the ticket text, sorry for missing that.
MacPorts usually is self-contained and doesn't depend on whatever a user has manually installed, but as port maintainer I guess this is up to you. Please remember depending on an external yorick binary is not supported (as in supported by base), though.
use a variant instead of path: dependency for ffmpeg/ffmpeg-devel
