Replying to [comment:6 sean.michael.farley@…]:
> It is much easier to tell a user "just copy and paste 'sudo port -v
install metis +debug' into your terminal" than to tell them to edit a
Portfile.
I don't have the experience of a situation where I'd need the user (a non-
developer) to actually debug a library from MacPorts on my behalf, so I'm
wondering if that's worth the burden that Ryan pointed out in the mailing
list: having more variants is going to be relatively messy for MacPorts to
support.
I definitely like your patches for what they are, though.
