Hello.
I think I found a misfeature in the ACID port:
pkg-comment reads:
> Analysis Console for Intrusion Databases (ACID) with Snort and MySQL
This is not 100% true, since ACID can also work with other database systems; according to this statement I had already
discarded this program, until I saw on the web someone reporting that he was using it with PostgreSQL. I looked into it
and now I'm using it with PGSQL too.
Also in Makefile there is:
>RUN_DEPENDS= ${LOCALBASE}/libexec/apache/libphp4.so:${PORTSDIR}/www/mod_php4\
> ${LOCALBASE}/libexec/mysqld:${PORTSDIR}/databases/mysql323-server \
> ${LOCALBASE}/bin/snort:${PORTSDIR}/security/snort \
> ${LOCALBASE}/www/data.default/php/adodb:${PORTSDIR}/databases/adodb
The second line above oviously insist in installing MySQL, which in my case (and possibly the case of many other people)
is useless (if not harmful due to licensing reasons).
I also agree with an already-posted PR that it should have phplot as a dependency.
bye & Thanks
av.
