Unfortunately this option is a build time change, which can't be leveraged for that. Ports that depend on other ports OPTION'al semantics can be problematic, su= ch as when users disable those options without realising the consequences, and ports/pkg does not have a mechanism to make users aware of these scenarios: 'Hey, this package needs this other packages 'feature', which is not includ= ed in this package build' If there isn't a sufficiently compelling reason to disable extension loadin= g, I'd suggest/propose removing it. --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.=
