Until dependencies allow inclusion of variants (#126), may I humbly suggest that, if the private headers are to be installed,
that it be the default behavior and not a variant.
Otherwise, no port could reliably ensure that they are installed.

Including the private headers would make, e.g., maintaining the port expect easier.

Would that fix #13827?

Installing private headers breaks some things. Don't remember what, but if I had time to dredge up an old ticket from 3-4 years ago it would give details because at one time the private headers were installed by default briefly until the problems were noticed. I suppose if the variant were commented well it might be ok.

It seems that the private headers were put in in r12893 and taken out in r13165.

I do agree that private headers would make things much easier, if only that it would allow the port of xotcl to get to a new version and not having to linger with an outdated version for ages now.

That, and other outdated Tcl-related ports.

Does anyone have any idea what these problems from over 8 years ago were? Many other distributions do include the private headers:
