Subject: Re: ports/184339: lang/python27 does not allow unsetting NLS (or
 other options)

 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
