Thanks for the work put in the port and the patch and no need to apologize, the response time is totally acceptable for the price I pay the port maintainer :-). And as far as free support goes, I would like to thank Mel for the detailed help and the pointer to the miscreant (Mk/bsd.port.mk). > I have it on my list to update the port to avoid using docbook-to-man. I've been looking to do the same and came across docbook2x (http://docbook2x.sourceforge.net/) which seems to be just perl-dependent - perhaps that might be used instead of the docbook-to-man. However, it's not in the ports tree and the development seems to be stalled (last release March 2007). http://www.linux.org/docs/ldp/howto/DocBook-Install/using.html#AEN600 shows how to install and use it, though. > In the mean, please apply the attached patch to your Makefile, and it > will prevent all of those deps from getting included in the build. I haven't had the time yet to test it, but as soon as I get to installing logcheck with your patch, I'll let you know the results. > Also, please cc the port maintainer when reporting a port-related bug to > freebsd-questions@, since not all of them follow the list. The easy way Well, I'm not really what you'd call a port-guru to easily claim dependency a bug and bother the maintainer, especially since I couldn't find an easy way to locate what pulls that dependency to file a useful bug report, but I'll follow your advice in the future.
