But that applies to all the ports that depend on ghostscript. We had
this discussion when I was trying to decide what to do about wb, and
decided that
RUN_DEPENDS= gs:${PORTSDIR}/print/ghostscript4
was the best thing to do, since it would leave existing versions of
gs there but bring in the newest if there's nothing installed. Is
this not the case?
