Ports with a no_x11 variant should be changed to use x11

[mf2k (Frank Schima)]

Per Macports policy against no_foo variant names, all ports with a +no_x11 variant should be changed to use +x11 instead. The dependencies and code will need to be reversed in most cases.

Some ports have no_x11 as a legacy variant, which should be retained for one year and then it can be removed.

Here's a list:

Ports with x11 only/fixed

• at-spi (nomaintainer) - no_x11 removed in r106775.

Replying to macsforever2000@…:

Some ports have no_x11 as a legacy variant, but I don't see a reason to keep them around since they do nothing.

The no_x11 legacy variants exist so that users who had previously selected those variants will continue to have X11 disabled after upgrading. All ports that are converted from no_x11 to x11 variants should maintain such a no_x11 legacy variant for one year so that users upgrading the ports do not suddenly receive features they specifically requested not to receive.

[mojca (Mojca Miklavec)]

While I'm ready to patch at any time - what about the rule that "updates are supposed to run smoothly for a year after the change"?

Gnuplot introduced the option +x11 in August 2012 (r96459). If there is anyone who installed gnuplot with +no_x11 back in July 2012, the update won't go as expected.

While this is hardly a problem for gnuplot (it's been 10 months now which is almost a year): aren't there going to be problems in other packages if an option is simply removed without any grace period?

PS: I'm sorry. I only noticed now that Ryan actually said the same thing. I didn't see his post earlier.

[mojca (Mojca Miklavec)]

Here's a grouped list created out of the list above. I didn't check if any other ports contain [no_]x11, I didn't check ports for which it says "remove legacy no_x11", but I checked if any port added +x11 recently.

If anyone wants or agrees with the list, it can be moved to the top description and updates as work proceeds, I didn't dare to do that.

Ports without x11 variant:

Ports with no maintainer:

• libmpeg2 (nomaintainer) (also no_sdl)

Regarding openssh; Now that no_x11 has been removed, how can xorg components be prevented from installing?

port -y upgrade openssh -xauth doesn't seem to work.

[neverpanic (Clemens Lang)]

Replying to mirimiri66@…:

port -y upgrade openssh -xauth doesn't seem to work.

Try port upgrade --enforce-variants openssh -xauth. I should probably have added --without-xauth to make sure, though.

It still pulls in xorg components.

Replying to mirimiri66@…:

Please file a separate bug for this an cc me, if it still persists. Attach the main.log and explain how it "pulls in xorg components". I cannot reproduce and the dependency list of openssh -xauth (port rdeps openssh -xauth) seems to correctly reflect the variant.
