>Description:
The help subsystem of brasero simply does not work in the absence of yelp.
The help subsystem is an integral part of brasero, however in order to make
it work properly one first needs to install the yelp port.
(Note that this is essentiall the same PR as ports/167725, and ports/167769
except that this is about the Help sybsystem of brasero, rather than of
gthumb or evince. The Help subsystems of _several_ different GNOME
applications rely on and assume the presence of yelp.)
>How-To-Repeat:
portinstall brasero
...
then run brasero and click on "Help" and then "Contents"
>Fix:
Add a dependency in the master brasero port Makefile so that the brasero port
will be properly dependent upon yelp being installed.
Note that this one change is _necessary_ but apparently not entirely
_sufficient_, by itself alone, to cause the brasero port's help subsystem
to begin working entirely. There are other and additional problems that
also need to be solved to get this working and I will report on those in
separate PRs to follow this one.
