This in turn pulls in a big swath of additional packages including python, perl, pcre, glib. I cannot figure out what this utility is supposed to do, as all it refers to is "make a desktop". I don't have a desktop on freebsd nor do I run gnome. I do not understand the need for emacs to have a run-dependeny on this, especially the non-x11 version. I have zero desktop systems here (they're all servers) and nothing has X11 on it, and have no need for python and most cases perl. Is there a way that the port could be tweaked so that the desktop utilities are not installed when there is no desktop (ie, the nox11 variant)? My goal is to have a minimal footprint of software on my servers so I do not have to security audit all this extra software. Thanks for any info on why this is now included by default.
