If I remember correctly, gaim port installed ghostscript, a large c= hunk of gnome, cups, etc. Perhaps I'm exaggerating. I've whined about this in the past - it can be very frustrating when I de= cide to try something new - make install distclean, and come back to find X on a server, or some fancy desktop environment worth several gigs installed on my workstation. I try to always read the Makefile, but... Personally, I think make.conf should include WITHOUT_X11 and stuff like that by default - or perhaps these ports that like to install massiv= e=20 lists of dependencies (Linux, X, KDE, Gnome, whatever) could all=20 abide by a single WE_DON'T_WANT_IT flag? :) And because I have a feeling this isn't going anywhere any time soon, is there an easy way to back out a port and all of its dependencies that are not being used by other ports? -Mike To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
