Recently, I wanted to switch to macports TeXLive. I noticed that even
''texlive +minimal'' has a lot of dependencies, and that installing would
result in compiling a lot.
Since the machine is pretty ancient, I dug deeper and found I had to
compile this much because ''-x11 +no_x11 +quartz'' is enabled in my
''variants.conf'', and packages like
[https://ports.macports.org/port/cairo/details/ cairo],
[https://ports.macports.org/port/glib2/details/ glib2] or
[https://ports.macports.org/port/texlive-bin/details/ texlive-bin] are
only available pre-compiled with the ''x11'' variant enabled (and for
''glib2'', ''quartz'' and ''x11'' are mutually exclusive).
This may or may not be related to #60511 , but is there a reason why the
''quartz'' variants are not pre-compiled for those packages? Should I
stick with ''+x11 -quartz'' ATM, when I don't want to compile many
packages on my machine?
