Bugzilla Automation <bugzilla@FreeBSD.org> has asked freebsd-desktop (Team)
<desktop@FreeBSD.org> for maintainer-feedback:
Bug 259240: devel/glib20 at  version 2.70 pulls in dbus as a mandatory
dependency
https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D259240



--- Description ---
Prior to 2.68, and currently according to glib documentation,
linux-from-scratch and several other sources, it's an OPTIONAL dependency.
There's simply zero reason to require it.=20

This is a regression as it appears to be a new bug to 2.70

Please rectify.

Replication steps:

cd /usr/ports/devel/glib20

make rmconfig-recursive (to clear out configs)

make config-recursive

It'll pull dbus in.
