Well, nothing prevents anyone feeling sufficiently strongly about it from adding ImageMagick-nox11 port themselves. I'm not a maintainer, after all :) Personally, I dislike the fact that the number of ports like this grows and grows. I wish, there was, say a nox11 top-level category or something, to organize this things. A lot of ports have WITH and WITHOUT options. Honoring them all with a separate sub-port would explode the ports tree. Think of the amount of permutations of mod_php, ghostscript, or postgresql will have. Is NO_X -- an exception? May be... I'll do what my mentor tells me to. -mi To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe cvs-all" in the body of the message
