Bugzilla Automation <bugzilla@FreeBSD.org> has asked freebsd-emulation (Nobody) <emulation@FreeBSD.org> for maintainer-feedback: Bug 283105: graphics/linux-rl9-gdk-pixbuf2 is jasper-libs an unneeded dependency? https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=283105 --- Description --- https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gdk-pixbuf/-/blob/2.42.8/NEWS states that 2.42.0 removed libjasper JPEG2000 loader and the nonlinux port no longer depends on jasper-libs when it went from version 2.40.0 to 2.42.8. I thought this may be debris if the c7 port was modified into an updated rl9 port without re-reviewing what the actual dependencies are but would like to know if there is a proper way to confirm when something is a needed dependency, only dynamically needed, or is unrelated? I'd presume such a step would be helpful for port maintainers to watch out for including something that is no longer needed after a port is updated in general too but if there are different/better steps to that it would be appreciated too. I ran across this with unrelated work of manually removing dependencies on games/linux-dwarffortress and found that it still launched without the linux-c7-jasper-libs which is brought in by linux-c7-gdk-pixbuf2. There were similarly other ports that are either unneeded dependencies of dependencies with some being only sometimes needed depending on dwarffortress's settings. Only a few were direct dependencies and dynamically loaded which I assume could be shifted off to a port option. I presume that unless it is a direct dependency or an accidentally included but unneeded dependency of the dependency then it can be fixed but that others would get included with no clean solution to skip them.home | help
