https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=250364 Bug ID: 250364 Summary: devel/glib20: make run-depend on python OPTIONal Product: Ports & Packages Version: Latest Hardware: Any OS: Any Status: New Severity: Affects Only Me Priority: --- Component: Individual Port(s) Assignee: desktop@FreeBSD.org Reporter: gahr@FreeBSD.org Flags: maintainer-feedback?(desktop@FreeBSD.org) Assignee: desktop@FreeBSD.org Created attachment 218756 --> https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/attachment.cgi?id=218756&action=edit Patch I would like to make OPTIONal the run-dependency of glib20 on python, with a default that keeps the current status. The reason is that many packages depend on glib only for its shared libraries, and it is unconvenient to have to install 100MB of python just for that. If MAINTAINER agrees, there are two approaches: 1. just make the run-dependency optional This is what is currently implemented in the attached patch. The plist does not change so it's still possible to install python later to run glib-genmarshal and friends. 2. make the run-dependency optional and skip the installation of anything that relies on python Perhaps safer, perhaps overkill given that python continues to be a run-dependency by default and turning that off means you know what you are doing. However, if you prefer this approach, I'm prepared to implement it. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.home | help
