I did a bit of cross referencing between the XFree86-4 port's pkg-plist and the other XFree86-4-* plist files and it appears that the sum of the parts don't "add up" to the whole. -clients gives you the client "user code" binaries, -documents is self-explanatory, and -libraries gives you all of the .so and .h files. But, the entire XFree86-4 provides that plus the fonts, the modules and the XFree86 binary (plus, blah blah blah). > I personally believe that the XFree86-4 port should immediately be > changed to a meta port of those reasonably and conveniently divided > XFree86-4-* ports, but the maintainers do not seem to feel like doing > it somehow. ;) probably because of the above "problem" that the entire XFree86-4 package cannot be obtained by installing the individual ports. I see in bsd.port.mk that LIB_DEPENDS has x11/XFree86-4-libraries added to it if USE_XLIB is defined by the port. So, what is the advice for people who have installed the "whole" XFree86-4 port and who also want to use portupgrade (and friends) without constantly having to do "pkgdb -F" to "fix" dependencies? Just install the x11/XFree86-4-libraries "on top of" x11/XFree86-4 and be done with it? -Jr ps: please cc: me on replies, thanks! -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= | John Reynolds WCCG, CCE, CDS - Senior CAD Engineer | | Intel Corporation MS: CH6-210 Phone: 480-554-9092 pgr: 602-868-6512 | | jreynold@sedona.ch.intel.com http://www-aec.ch.intel.com/~jreynold/ | =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
