It's unfortunate the upstream developers chose to not distribute the python= =20 bindings separately from libxml2/libxslt, it's more unfortunate the freebsd= =20 ports don't either (there's not any other ports/packages system I'm aware o= f=20 which does this). I can quite sympathize however - KDE does similar things in many places (an= d=20 so do the KDE ports in FreeBSD) and it hurts plenty to make the initial=20 conversion to more atomicity and it hurts more to make it so that=20 maintainence overhead will not increase. It's still a good thing to tackle= =20 eventually and it yields a nice plugable binary package as a bonus. Of=20 course, somebody needs to do it and deal with the loose ends - perhaps this= =20 thread will be inspiration enough for a yet unknown volunteer. =2D-=20 ,_, | Michael Nottebrock | lofi@freebsd.org (/^ ^\) | FreeBSD - The Power to Serve | http://www.freebsd.org \u/ | K Desktop Environment on FreeBSD | http://freebsd.kde.org --Boundary-02=_3jl4ApC/lAghQO3 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Description: signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.4 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQBA4lj3Xhc68WspdLARAiMHAJwMh0Dy+fqG3HO6GsAX5cEG7FdxDgCeJ4zt Aftna9cWkhFTUhrS3Ql3Fe4= =/0lu -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --Boundary-02=_3jl4ApC/lAghQO3--
