https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D251014 Alexey Dokuchaev <danfe@FreeBSD.org> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |danfe@FreeBSD.org --- Comment #5 from Alexey Dokuchaev <danfe@FreeBSD.org> --- (In reply to p5B2E9A8F from comment #0) > please make graphics/librsvg2 a port option choice Technically it is optional in Openbox, albeit enabled by default. The prob= lem is more serious for ports where librsvg2 is not an optional dependency, and thus cannot be easily turned off. With this patch and DEFAULT_VERSIONS+=3Dlibrsvg2=3Dlegacy, I can finally bu= ild Openbox again with default options, thank you Tobias. Prior to this change= it was impossible because apparently this Lenovo L470 laptop of mine with 8GB = RAM is not potent enough. > I could lash out for a nice rant but I'm not going to do that. I'll just say that may it be an example of why one should *not* try to rewr= ite popular open-source C library (which can be compiled even on, I don't know, TI-85?) in a "better" tongue that requires 100500 GB of RAM just to build itself, not to mention it being self-hosted and thus requiring bootstrap on every architecture. This could be tolerable for leaf ports, but really horrible for maintaining reusable open-source components serving as dependencies for vast variety of software. --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.=
