The best thing to do would be splitting the libdbi-drivers port into=20 individual ports per backend (or make it a meta/master-port for=20 backend-specific ports), which you can then specifically depend on. It's ye= t=20 more work, but if the libdbi-drivers port-maintainer is ok with the change = in=20 principle and you submit a reworked bunch of libdbi-drivers-foo ports, it=20 should be doable pretty quickly. =2D-=20 ,_, | Michael Nottebrock | lofi@freebsd.org (/^ ^\) | FreeBSD - The Power to Serve | http://www.freebsd.org \u/ | K Desktop Environment on FreeBSD | http://freebsd.kde.org --nextPart19901755.ucpm2BcNyC Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.0 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQBCbPL7Xhc68WspdLARAsxGAJ98SxNWn+53pulR7WrXVfnHNwyhuwCgjM/i PMCBRVHfzi4XvzznR4G7Rwc= =vAcs -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --nextPart19901755.ucpm2BcNyC--
