The following reply was made to PR ports/184339; it has been noted by GNATS. From: Kubilay Kocak <koobs.freebsd@gmail.com> To: bug-followup@FreeBSD.org, gerald@pfeifer.com Cc: John Hein <jhein@symmetricom.com> Subject: Re: ports/184339: lang/python27 does not allow unsetting NLS (or other options) Date: Fri, 13 Dec 2013 23:06:03 +1100 Thanks for following-up Gerald and confirming the new convention works for you. Thank you also John for detailing the issue. On the suggestion to remove the NLS option, I discussed this with bapt@, one of our fine portmgr's, who indicated that it is recommended for ports to add NLS to OPTIONS_DEFINE explicitly where it is an option. Having said that, it was also clear from your submission that the deprecation of the prior variable could have been more explicit, and an improvement to this affect has been committed [1][2] which should make it much clearer to users who might stumble upon this in the future. In summary, WITHOUT_* is no longer functional, and has been replaced with OPTIONS_UNSET=NLS in make.conf or WITHOUT="NLS" on the command line Additional details are conventions are available in Mk/bsd.options.mk [1] http://svnweb.freebsd.org/changeset/ports/336336 [2] http://svnweb.freebsd.org/changeset/ports/336337
