Description
All dependencies of py-wxpython-2.8 need variants to account for the difference between linking against py-wxpython-2.8 +carbon and py-wxpython-2.8 +gtk. These ports are:
- editors/spe
- gis/grass (see also #36904)
- net/bittorrent
- python/py-dsv
- python/py-robotframework-ride (see also #40297)
- python/py26-pyphant
Plus maybe those with (temporarily?) disabled support for wxWidgets:
- games/sounddecompress
- python/py-pyface (see also #40207)
On Xcode >= 4.4 py-wxpython-2.8 can only be installed with +gtk, so there is no problem, but with earlier releases of Xcode where +carbon is default, these dependencies need to be aware of incompatibility with x86_64, clang and possibly other minor issues.
On top of that some ports are conditionally compatible with py-wxpython-3.0 and one needs to keep in mind that py27-wxpython-2.8 is conflicting with py27-wxpython-3.0 and the reasonable compromise I see is to allow these ports to link against py26-wxpython-2.8 in order to allow side-by-side installation with dependencies of py27-wxpython-3.0.
I would suggest to provide options with consistent/equal names for all the listed ports, but I'm looking for suggestions.
Just an additional note is that at least bittorrent, py-dsv and spe seem relatively "abandoned" upstream and also have no maintainer.
