Thanks for bringing this up. I noticed it a while ago but forgot to mail the maintainer. While we are on the subject of silent dependencies, mail/mutt-devel links with ncurses silently too. I've attached the maintainer of mutt-devel to this mail so he can hopefully work up a patch. -- WXS _______________________________________________ freebsd-ports@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-ports-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
