It seems that it is a kind of bloating to require python with X (even if only a small portion of it is needed). Unfortunately upstream guys maintain xcb-proto and xcbgen in the same distribution. But a trend among packgers seem to be to split these two into separate packages. I wonder if anybody is working on the same for our ports. >From the point of view of the port itself it seems to be as easy building only one subdirectory of the project, e.g.: http://cvsweb.se.netbsd.org/cgi-bin/bsdweb.cgi/pkgsrc/x11/xcb-proto/patches/patch-ae?rev=1.1 But it seems to be a more challenging task to decide which "higher level" ports should depend on xcb-proto alone and which need xcbgen too. -- Andriy Gapon
