https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D264783 Bug ID: 264783 Summary: graphics/mesa-dri pulls in the entire llvm package Product: Ports & Packages Version: Latest Hardware: Any OS: Any Status: New Severity: Affects Only Me Priority: --- Component: Individual Port(s) Assignee: x11@FreeBSD.org Reporter: billblake2018@gmail.com Flags: maintainer-feedback?(x11@FreeBSD.org) Assignee: x11@FreeBSD.org I was hunting through my system for disk wasters and I noticed that llvm13--which I don't use--is installed, consuming some 1.4 gigabytes of sp= ace. It gets pulled in because the mesa-dri package depends on it. However, the only thing mesa-dri seems to care about is libLLVM-13.so, a mere 94 megabyt= es. Because X requires mesa-dri, any system using X will have over a gigabyte of space that is very likely entirely wasted. Disk is cheap. It is not *that* cheap. (Especially since a scan of my other disk wasters suggests that mesa= -dri is not the only package that pulls in large packages but uses only small pa= rts of them.) Unless mesa-dri really needs a significant fraction of llvm's functionality= , it would make a lot more sense to simply include the needed parts of llvm in mesa-dri. --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.=
