The dependencies don't have a way to express it. Obviously the port *does* care; it's failure to build with an antiquated version of cabextract is its only way of telling you. >it's too expensive to ask for port upgrade just for only those two >options. unless i am missing something else, otherwise, cabextract >0.2 is just as fine do everything that's needed by webfonts. Clearly, the errors you've seen indicate that cabextract-0.2 does *not* do everything that's needed. It is most unlikely that anyone would consent to modifying the webfonts port so that you can avoid a 60 second (or less) upgrade process. Please upgrade your cabextract to the current version. Pete, Pat, anybody? Please close this PR. -- Alan Eldridge "Dave's not here, man." To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
