Usually what _i_ do is only specifying direct deps if upstream insists on using a particular version - and that tends to bitrot over time if you forget to update it. Ie look at www/webkit's LIB_DEPENDS. But no one will yell at you for specifying gtk3/glib2/cairo, though in that particular case i really doubt gtk3 will stop using glib2 & cairo someday. Landry
