https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D233324 --- Comment #20 from Michael Gmelin <grembo@FreeBSD.org> --- (In reply to Kevin Bowling from comment #13) (In reply to Kevin Bowling from comment #13) I think you misunderstood what I wrote. > (In reply to Michael Gmelin from comment #12) > The port as it stands will never run 'make check', a specific bsd.port.mk > feature would be needed to hit a target like that and it is not present.= =20=20 What I meant is: One could add an OPTION to the port that runs "make check"= as part of the build process and then add perl as a dependency (hypothetical, future development, wouldn't need changes to bsd.port.mk. But no need to de= pend on perl unconditionally right now, so it could be removed). > Again, jbeich clearly documented the lack of use so the only issues are i= magined and not factual. That's exactly what I said and confirmed - I spent the time to double-check= if it's still true (including running "make check" in SRCDIR), as Jan's comment was from a year ago. So we both agree that perl is not required in the build process. I think the dependency should be removed, like you do. BUT Calling a maintainer timeout when the maintainer said "no" is a problem, ev= en if the PR is old and seems obvious. --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.=
