#37973 closed enhancement (fixed)
RFE: the bzr port should be modified to not use "universal_variant no" if possible

Description
Replacing the bzr portfile's line that says "universal_variant no" with something like "supported_archs noarch" would be useful, because then it would be possible to have ports with universal variants depend on bzr, without any conflicts in variants.

bzr's universal variant was disabled in r31638 because the port was using the python25 portgroup and perhaps building python 2.5 software universal was difficult back in 2007, but the port uses python 2.7 now and I don't know of a reason why the universal variant should remain disabled.

Replying to ryandesign@…:

Yeah I had come across that commit when trying to figure out why it was added, but unfortunately the commit message didn't come with that explanation... Anyway, thanks for explaining it to me now though. And also of course just removing the "universal_variant no" line entirely would probably be the best solution; the "noarch" suggestion I made in the OP was just me thinking aloud.

universal_variant no removed in r102989.
bzr is not noarch; it installs architecture-specific files in ${frameworks_dir}/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/site-packages/bzrlib:
If it is possible to do so, it would be great to allow bzr to build universal, of course. Just removing the "universal_variant no" line works for me on Mountain Lion.
