Hi folks, One of my ports was just committed, audio/cplay. CPlay is a frontend to various mp3/ogg/whatever players, and it's written in Python (i.e. it doesn't need to be compiled). So the issue is, should i list the various players as (optional) RUN_DEPENDS or should I just create a pkg-message which says to install at least one player? Technically spoken, cplay runs without a single player, but then you can't play any music. If I specify a single dependency on one player, i have to make a choice which is always wrong... What should I do? any advice? Greets, Jochem P.S. Congratulations with the 7000 ports all!
