* I know some people just delete files that seem unnecessary whenever * they run out of disk space, and those people may consider "moc" a * waste of disk space (they remember to have never used it ;-) ... * * That would lead to spurious PRs about the port being broken, and the * poor port maintainer had to explain people they have to re-install Qt, * even though the KDE port they are trying to build seemed to have all * dependencies satisfied ... Aw come on. Hundreds of ports will break if people do that kind of stuff. Really, how many bogus reports have you gotten because people deleted /usr/X11R6/bin/moc? I think you're confused by the reports that had make trying to call "/usr/bin/moc". That was because of bugs in gcc installation (egcs or gcc28) confusing the configure script, and has nothing to do with /usr/X11R6/bin/moc disappearing. (In particular, people with that problem could not solve it by reinstalling qt.) * I'm all for a USE_QT as suggested by Satoshi (IIRC). That could imply It was Andeas' idea, actually. :) * the build dependency, too, at negligible extra cost ;-) I agree it's negligible, but IMO it's a step in the wrong direction. The ports collection will quickly become unmanageable if we start worrying about those things....
