This has multiple nonconstructive effects: - users are forced to fetch, build and install ports they don't need. - users are hindered to delete a package they don't need - users a forced to update packages that don't use pkgconfig when pkgconfigs version number is bumped. Generally in FreeBSD dependencies denominate build- or runtime requirements. So ports that *install* .la files don't run-time depend on devel/libtool, ports that install a C++ library compiled with gcc33 do not run-time depend on lang/gcc33. I would expect client applications that require pkgconfig to build to build-depend on devel/pkgconfig, and only if they actually use it during runtime to run-depend on this port. >How-To-Repeat: >Fix: remove USE_GNOME= pkgconfig from textproc/libxml/Makefile >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
