>Description:
The purpose of this port is providing YAML support to python, yet it defines
OPTIONS_DEFINE= YAML
which is not enabled by default and shown to the user as
[ ] YAML YAML format or parser support
As far as I can tell this option enables the libyaml plugin in PyYAML.
LibYAML is written in C and as a result PyYAML is supposed to run
faster/nicer etc. Unfortunately the current option name doesn't make
this clear.
I would suggest to use a new option called LIBYAML, e.g.
OPTIONS_DEFINE= LIBYAML
LIBYAML_DESC= Use textproc/libyaml for faster parsing
and change
.if ${PORT_OPTIONS:MYAML}
to
.if ${PORT_OPTIONS:MLIBYAML}
Since I think that the general option YAML is about supporting yaml (and might be set globally by users) this might be a cleaner solution (alternatives would be overriding the description locally or change the default option description in /usr/ports/Mk/bsd.options.desc.mk to say "use libyaml", which most likely will lead to other problems)
And change the
