Its something I already thought of especially for laptop people or printer server ... Do you need NO_X11 to be the default if BATCH or portbuilding is set ? Or do you only want a switch for interactive portbuilding ? If its for portbuilding, then please be careful, since then the apsfilter port needs some finetuning. Currently apsfilter port relies on ImageMagick, since convert knows about so many filetypes. For a print server who possible runs without X11, this might be not a good default. I don't know, I only know, that I didn't get complaints so far ... If you change gs port not to include X11 on package building, then you should perhaps take into consideration, to include some other conversion utilities, which don't require X11 somewhere in the dependencies .... Currently I personally saw no demand in doing this, since regarding todays harddisk capacities, its no string demand to exclude X11... > I'm happy to do the work for this. I'd appreciate this if its possible.
