https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=257111 Kubilay Kocak <koobs@FreeBSD.org> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Keywords| |needs-qa CC| |python@FreeBSD.org Severity|Affects Only Me |Affects Some People Status|New |Open --- Comment #1 from Kubilay Kocak <koobs@FreeBSD.org> --- What is the difference for users for a build without EXTENSION support? In normal cases, if a package depends on another packages 'optional' characteristics or dependencies, the 'requiring' port should depend on the transitive dependencies directly. 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, such 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 included in this package build' If there isn't a sufficiently compelling reason to disable extension loading, I'd suggest/propose removing it. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.help
