py-pil @1.1.7_7 Add +tk variant to allow for no-x11 builds

[danudey (Dan Udey)]

Building the Python Image Library via macports draws in py-tkinter, which pulls in quite a few xorg libraries. For systems/users which do not want x11, move tk support to a default variant so that it can be removed at compile time.

Patch to move tk support to a variant

Cc Me!

You don't need to Cc yourself if you're the reporter. Please Cc the maintainer and set the port field. I've done both of these for you now.

A variant needs to actually enable or disable functionality; just adding or removing a dependency is not sufficient to accomplish that.

[danudey (Dan Udey)]

Ah, so removing the dependency removes the installing of tk, but still builds against it if it exists. That's a good point. I'll see if I can figure out how to change that with the package's build system.

Also, resolving #38844 may be just as good or even better for your purposes.

Replying to jmr@…:

I'll take a look into this as well, thanks!

This ticket is a duplicate of #28462, but maybe it is better to close the old ticket in this case.

PIL hasn't been updated upstream in a very long time; use Pillow instead.
