 Replying to [comment:1 mouse07410]:
 > Macports' inability of accepting, **as a variant**, dependencies outside
 of Macports itself is very bad for packages that depend on large well-
 known software like JDK or MacTeX.

 Allowing non-MacPorts dependencies is [wiki:ReproducibleBuilds not
 reproducible] so we don't generally offer an option to do that but '''Java
 and MacTeX are already exceptions to that rule.'''
