#37343 closed enhancement (fixed)

nmap: add a "-subversion" variant

Description

nmap builds fine without subversion, albeit without an "nmap-update" feature. It would be nice to be able to forgo this dependency via a variant.

When I first looked at this, there didn't appear to be a clean way to build without subversion (but that has possibly changed with subsequent upstream releases).

If this is something you really want, it will happen faster if you can submit a patch :-)

Thanks for the patch, but I don't think it actually works in the -subversion case (if subversion is installed, it will still get used). There needs to be something that forces the build to not use subversion if the variant isn't selected (so that builds are reproducible).

Resolution: fixed
Status: newclosed

I went ahead and added +subversion as a default variant and converted the no_* variants to match the style. (r147186)

Why would anybody want to use the subversion variant as default? The whole point of this ticket was to get rid of it as a default dependency. nmap-update is an old closed-alpha project.

Replying to wyuenho@…:

maybe ask upstream why it's in the default ./configure ?

You can easily build without it now, you couldn't before.

That configure script also builds with ndiff, zenmap and nping, the same question could also be asked why they aren't in the requirements of this port. I think for me, I just want a default nmap package that I'd expect on a Linux distro. AFAIK, both CentOS and Ubuntu package nmap with lua by default. r147186 not only got rid of lua as a dep and not providing a variant for it, but also reenabled subversion as a default variant. I'm not sure what the reasoning for this change is. BTW, this Portfile violates Macport's coding standard. nmap has also gone on to 7.12 now.

But that shouldn't be the default, and certainly not what this ticket was asking for.

zenmap/ndiff isn't built by default because of the large dependency tree (and maintainer discretion - see also #24177)

nope it didn't change it (still builds with --with-liblua=included)

and not providing a variant for it, but also reenabled subversion as a default variant.

nope, it moved subversion to a default variant from being unconditionally required.

BTW, this Portfile violates Macport's coding standard.

Maintainers have a wide latitude for Portfile style.

nmap has also gone on to 7.12 now.

yes, it was released yesterday. I plan on updating it when I get some time.

The bug tracker is not really the place to have this conversation. If you'd like to continue, I'd suggest we move to macports-dev.
