Hello, After many years of using FreeBSD ports, I've grown into habit of reading Makefiles each time I'm not sure if any options I'm proposed pulls in dependencies or not. And then it hit me. Why should we do that? Port system already knows if something pulls another part of it, why those build options are not marked somehow? Ideally, described (installs xxx/xxx) or just by another colour, just marked by "*" even. Am I'm missing anything? -- Sent from: http://freebsd.1045724.x6.nabble.com/freebsd-ports-f3835061.html
