https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D207032 --- Comment #10 from Jason Bacon <bacon4000@gmail.com> --- A lot of biology software developers don't yet understand the value of pack= age managers, so a common approach is bundle all the dependencies and run the software from the build directory. Biology + computer science is a relativ= ely new relationship for the most part. Older versions of samtools did install the headers. I suspect the develope= rs just fell in line with the bundling approach and just didn't bother to add = it to the newer Makefiles. I intend to send the patches upstream so the next version will install the library and headers. A port option would not be useful. If the library and headers are not available by default, then ports that depend on them (e.g. RSEM) will have = to build and use their own bundled samtools in order to be packaged. This is = what I'm trying to avoid. Thanks, Jason --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.=
