            Bug ID: 192341
           Summary: sysutils/munin-node is missing dependency to
                    www/p5-libwww
           Product: Ports Tree
           Version: Latest
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: Needs Triage
          Severity: Affects Many People
          Priority: ---
         Component: Infrastructure
          Assignee: freebsd-ports-bugs@FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: fbsd@shoggothmedia.com

The port sysutils/munin-node (v2.0.17_1) has nginx status and requests count
plugins which in turn require Perl class LWP::UserAgent which is provided by
www/p5-libwww. This port is not installed as a dependency of munin-node.

I have no idea why this is so, could be some adverse effects of the lib that
I'm not aware of (I'm not a Perl developer), because this dependency dropout is
happening on some Linux distributions as well

But it might be good idea to introduce a knob for sysutils/munin-node
configuration asking if the user requires www/p5-libwww (as required by nginx
plugins).

Or maybe a set of knobs could be introduced where users could select which
(groups of) plugins to install too, and if nginx is selected, then pull in this
dep as well?
