 years again in macports ;-)[[BR]]

 Yes. wireshark-devel also still has a "no_ssl" variant which should be
 restructured to be an "ssl" variant. wireshark still has variants no_adns,
 no_geoip, no_gnutls, no_ipv6, no_libgcrypt, no_libsmi, no_lua, no_rtp,
 no_ssl, no_x11; fixes to restructure these should be brought over to the
 wireshark port from the wireshark-devel port.

 I don't see why it would matter whether the portfile adds the option or
 the portgroup adds the option. Either way, the option should get added.


 > Variants reflect option provided by wireshark :

 A portfile usually should not offer variants for every option supported by
 the build system. Rather, the maintainer should select the options that
 make sense and program them into the portfile, and offer a very small
 number of variants if necessary to support unusual options or ones with
 heavy dependencies.

 is the way to go.

 Wireshark's Portfile.

 I understand that wireshark 1.11 has switched to cmake, so that difference
 between wireshark and wireshark-devel is expected. The other differences,
 including differing variants and differing whitespace, are not. In this
 case, the variants and whitespace of the wireshark-devel port are more
 conformant with current MacPorts best practices, so the wireshark port
 should adopt them.
