claws-mail's build dependency on Tex Live
If you build claws-mail from ports you might want to think about unchecking the manual option. It brings in a build dependency on textproc/docbook-utils which in turn depends on print/texlive-texmf. This has a 1663 MB distfile and installs 1477 MB of files. Obviously the manual option needs to be on by default, but perhaps there should be a warning in the port menu. pkg doesn't show build dependencies, so it's not obvious where texlive came from. ___ 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"

I found the same thing when installing Gnuplot (FreeBSD 9.3); I quickly cancelled it, as I was already close to my download limit... In the meantime, I just have to clean up whatever broke in the ports area when going from 8.2 to 9.3 (I could've sworn I'd followed the instructions for the new ports system). -- Dave Horsfall DTM (VK2KFU) "Bliss is a MacBook with a FreeBSD server." http://www.horsfall.org/spam.html (and check the home page whilst you're there) ___ 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"

I just added information in menu dialog about this, see r372815. -- pozdrawiam / with regards Paweł Pękala ___ 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"
