As I'm going through the list of broken "orphaned" ports on bento, I'm noticing that a number of ports (e.g. dhcpconf and flowscan) have mtree problems that appear to be related to PERL5 or PYTHON usage by a dependent port build. However, the "parent" port does not seem to get credit for then underlying dependency on perl, python etc. Now, LIB_DEPENDS is (usually) pretty easy--if a port needs a library that's not already on the system, one is really going to know it when the linker fails. But differentiating between a BUILD_DEPENDS and a RUN_DEPENDS seems to be a much grayer area. How to resolve this such that not only does a port build correctly, but bento doesn't also complain about what appears to be the entire tree for python or perl not being in the pkg-plist. jmc To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
