>Description:
After the update to version 5.5 of the net-mgmt/net-snmp port, net-snmp depends on x11-toolkits/p5-Tk because it includes a GUI MIB viewer. x11-toolkits/p5-Tk in turn depends on a lot of X ports. In my opinion, which is shared by others, building the graphical MIB viewer should be optional, and disabled by default. This change, as it stands right now, adds more than 30 new ports as dependencies to net-snmp.
>How-To-Repeat:
update net-snmp to 5.5 on a system where it is already installed - for example, see this portmaster output:
===>>> The following actions will be taken if you choose to proceed:
Upgrade net-snmp-5.4.2.1_7 to net-snmp-5.5

Install devel/libcheck
Install devel/libpthread-stubs
Install textproc/libxslt
Install x11/xcb-proto
Install x11/xcmiscproto
Install x11/xextproto
Install x11/xtrans
===>>> Proceed? y/n [y]
>Fix:
It would be nice if building the graphical MIB viewer was optional in net-snmp, and disabled by default. Not sure how to achieve this, though.
