Ok, I FINALLY got the new version (1.6) done, and committed. The good news
is that the delay was caused by my finding more things to optimize. :)
I have been giving some thought to your scenario, and while I still do not
have an automated solution, I do have a workaround that will work from the
command line. In the new version I enhanced the -i (interactive mode)
feature to remember the user's choices made during the 'make config'
recursive check so that you don't have to re-enter them at build time. So,
let's say that you want to build build /usr/ports/foo/bar which has a
dependency on bison, but you have bison2 installed. You would launch
'portmaster -i -p foo/bar' and when the dependency check got to bison, say
no to building it. When the build for foo/bar starts, the ports tree will
see that the bison dependency is filled by bison2, and not try to launch a
build for it, and neither will portmaster.
Like I said, it's not ideal or automated, but it does "fix" the problem
while I work on the CONFLICTS idea you proposed (or some other solution if
that doesn't work).
hth,
Doug
