| 50 | | Nobody can think of that mess as a good user experience, especially for new users. I hope you can agree with that, otherwise we're not even close to the same page. |

| 55 | | % port variants MPlayer |
| 56 | | MPlayer has the variants: |
| 57 | | universal: Build for multiple architectures |
| 58 | | }}} |
| 59 | | |
| 60 | | The MPlayer port used to be just as bad as mpv, but because I used MPlayer, I had an interest in cleaning it up and making it work properly on all the systems I use, Tiger through Ventura, and it does. If someone opens a ticket about MPlayer, I know exactly how it is built -- but there are no open tickets (well, other than this one). |
| 61 | | |
| 62 | | Having a plethora of messy variants that cannot realistically be tested is just -- asking for trouble, to put it gently. A knowledgeable user should set up the port with the broadly correct set of options enabled, and then maintain that. |
| 63 | | |
| 64 | | It's managable. It's maintainable. It's testable, and the buildbots built it on every system. It's good. There is peace in the universe with that approach. That is the only method I plan to support. In my world, there would be exactly two sets of variants in macports: |
| 65 | | |
| 66 | | 1. universal or no |
| 67 | | 1. x11 or quartz |
| 68 | | |
| 69 | | and all the other variants would be gradually purged out of all the ports. |
| 70 | | |
| 71 | | Now I don't own MPlayer, and as there is disagreement about how it should be managed, I released it back to the pool. Have at it! |
| | 5 | Just trying to keep things manageably simple, but that is my tendency. |
