Hi guys, Can you point me to a discussion explaining why we have to keep up with sooo many dependencies? I assume this matter was address many times and I don't want to directly bring up the topic... again. I have just installed FreeBSD12 on a new system. First thing I want to reinstall is git. But I can't believe what I am reading, when I do 'pkg install git' I can see a lot of dependencies where I can't see the relationship with git. Installing git will have, amongst others... * bash I don't need that * perl5 Come on! I just want git! * python What? Why do you need Perl5 in the first place? * subversion Git is using subversion??? * tpm-emulator Emulator of what? Installing git will consume up to 367 MiB of my SDCard on my Pi... Yeah, I know it's not new. Just want to know what is the very good reason behind that. Thanks for enlighting me. Philippe
