https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=259121 --- Comment #8 from Pietro Cerutti <gahr@FreeBSD.org> --- We tend to make sure a port depends on any package you need to *use* the port. We differentiate between build dependencies and run dependencies. Following your reasoning, a package for an interpreted language to wrap the functionality of a C library shouldn't depend on the C library because it can be built (i.e., packaged) without. Should p5-Redis depend on Redis? We think it should, and that's how we organize run-time dependencies. Similarly, it makes sense for tdbc (when built with the MYSQL option) to depend on the mysql client library. USES= mysql and USES= mysql:client do the same thing. Please explain what you are seeing that would suggest otherwise. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
