Hi, [For those I've just cc'ed: the PR describes a problem where some ports lack dependencies on shared libraries that they use. This didn't used to occur. My test case is gqview, which doesn't have a dependency on png, although it links to it.] A little more feedback on this. I tried some old versions of things, and it appears that this bug was introduced with revision 1.570 of ports/Mk/bsd.port.mk, committed by pav on June 28 and submitted by netchild. They are cc'ed :) 1.569 works, and gqview properly depends on png. The problem can be tested a little more efficiently by running "make actual-package-depends" in ports/graphics/gqview. With 1.569 png is included in the list, and in 1.570 it is not. The make syntax is confusing and it's hard for me to tell what that patch actually does, so I can't see where it might be wrong, but maybe someone else can. Thanks all! -- Nate Eldredge neldredge@math.ucsd.edu
